The meltdown over Elon Musk’s attempted hostile takeover of Twitter has made for the best unintentional comedy.

Musk could be on his way to buying social media giant Twitter for $43 billion dollars! If approved, expect big changes in a hurry. 

Because Musk calls himself a free speech absolutist, maybe, just maybe, under his leadership, Twitter will get out of the business of censoring those on the right, or banning those who don’t conform to the whims of left-wing, blue-check Twitter. 

Maybe stories that are problematic to Democrats in power won’t get squashed. 

And this prospect is scary to "conservatives" like the Washington Post's Max Boot. He tweeted, "I am frightened by the impact on society and politics if Elon Musk acquires Twitter. He seems to believe that on social media anything goes. For democracy to survive, we need more content moderation, not less.

Frightened? And if Musk is successful, democracy will die in darkness? C’mon man!
