.ggreenwald: Even if Elon Musk-Twitter deal implodes, seeing the establishment panic was a 'silver lining'
Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald speaks at the FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas on July 13, 2022.
He continued,"And simply by virtue of promising to do that, there was this wave of neurosis and hysteria unlike anything I've ever seen. And I think that reveals something very important, which is how genuinely vital and valuable this weapon of online censorship has become to institutions of establishment authority. And even if nothing changes in terms of Twitter's ownership structure, that lesson is deeply valuable.
Greenwald suggested that Musk's spat with Twitter is"just business" since he was"roped into a price" that was perhaps too high to begin with."The idea that Twitter is this fundamentally different business than he thought it was because of bots prior to purchasing it only to discover the existence of bot at a much higher – no, that is not an actual thing that happened," Greenwald laughed.
The Substack journalist struggled to say whether Musk's takeover of Twitter will actually happen since the tech tycoon is"almost impossible to predict" but strongly backed the multi-billion-dollar transaction.
