Elon Musk made much of his fortune on electric cars, which are sacred to moonbats. Yet all he had to do was promise to restore some free speech to Twitter for tolerant liberals to turn on him.

Did you think free speech is a good thing? Wrong, shrieks CNN:

Former CIA case officer and current CNN intelligence analyst Robert Baer appeared on the cable news network on Friday to discuss the opening up of Twitter by new CEO Elon Musk.

Roars Baer:

“Putin will be all over Twitter if there’s no regulations on this.”

Turns out free speech is a Russian plot.

In a Twitter poll, 72.4% approved of restoring the accounts of some who had been banned for failing to conform to leftist ideology. However,

Without evidence, Baer added, “And so when he’s talking about the popular voice, Musk, he’s really talking about Russian intelligence.” …

The CNN security and intelligence analyst bizarrely asserted, “And you know, this freedom of speech is just nonsense because you can’t go in a movie theater and yell ‘fire.’ It’s against the law.”

Beneath the skimpy Russia! Russia! Russia! fig leaf, the liberal establishment media is now saying outright that speech contradicting Democratic Party talking points should be illegal.
