In Psalm 121, the weary psalmist makes an anguished plea: "From where does my help come?"
In the present-day persecution of conservative thought and speech on "social media," potential help is coming from a most unexpected source. The innovative billionaire, Elon Musk, is making a grab for Twitter. His fearless and creative moves against the ruling class of Big Tech censors is causing hysteria among the left-wing elites who fancy themselves the rightful dictators of online discourse. Good! It's about time someone took on these bullies against freedom of speech.
The Twitter board of directors refused his offer--so much for fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. Even if nothing comes of his attempt, which I don't believe is anywhere near finished, Musk has fully exposed the phony purveyors of "moderated content"--which, of course, is a euphemism for censorship. The tech and media moguls are terrified of losing their iron grip over what information people can access. Why would they fear seeing differing viewpoints expressed online? Because their Marxist ideology is bankrupt. But to use a mob analogy (which is quite appropriate in this case), they will go to the mattresses to conceal the fact that their positions are indefensible.
It's often said that the Lord works in mysterious ways. Perhaps in our present-day prison of creeping leftist tyranny, Elon Musk is a Big Tech Moses of sorts. I quit Twitter after they suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. If Musk is successful in his bid to buy Twitter, I'll be among the multitudes lining up to reactivate my account.
