What's going on in the world? Anything you want with other like minded patriots
0:36
It's a really cool place to hang out. We'd love to have you there. All right. So this weekend, Elon Musk made an announcement
0:42
Actually, he made a few announcements. One of them was the new Twitter files, and we'll get to that in just a second
0:47
But he announced that he's getting rid of about one and a half billion
0:53
with a B, one and a half billion Twitter accounts. These are bots. These are fake accounts
0:59
These are people who haven't tweeted in years, people who are holding up names that other people wanted
1:05
that are not even using the service whose accounts are just sitting there languishing
1:10
So he's going to get rid of those accounts. That was huge. Another new feature that he says he's going to be adding is a view counter
1:18
So much like when you know how many people viewed your videos, you're going to have people read your tweets
1:24
And the reason he's doing that, he wants to show that Twitter's a lot more active than the mainstream media is saying
1:30
And you have to keep in mind, a couple of weeks ago, the mainstream media loved Twitter. They were all about Twitter. Twitter was great
1:36
Then Elon took over, stopped shadow manning conservatives. And now it's the most evil thing on the planet, according to some of these people
1:45
So he's going to be doing all that. In the meantime, he dropped Twitter files for this is the fourth installment
1:51
Twitter files, and it shows a lot of things. For starters, it shows that the banning of former president
1:58
Donald Trump came after pressure mounted from a lot of people and groups
2:02
including and not limited to former first lady, Michelle Obama, who tweeted that social media companies have to take action against the president
2:12
And it was not long after that, that Trump was booted from the platform
2:18
Now, Elon also this week got rid of a last week, technically got rid of James Baker
2:23
one of the men who was at the center of the Trump Russia collusion hoax in the FBI
2:29
then left the FBI and joined Twitter's legal team, so to speak
2:34
And he was instrumental not only in the Russia collusion hoax, but in the banning of the former president from the Twitter platform
2:42
So there's a lot of ridiculousness that was happening at Twitter that is not happening now
2:46
And I have Elton John and all these other people, these Hollywood types like we're leaving Twitter
2:50
They don't even know why they're leaving Twitter. I don't think I think they're just they're following like sheep
2:54
They're following the leader. They're following people. I tell them you got to leave Twitter
2:58
You got to leave Twitter. It's a it's a felon of misinformation. Those are my favorite things
3:02
Elton John said he was leaving because of the new misinformation being allowed on Twitter
3:07
And when Elon Musk asked him to show examples of the misinformation, he said nothing
3:12
So it's a game these guys are playing and Musk is not playing the game back with them
3:17
So I think a hat tip to him is in order for doing, you know, the right thing
3:22
for letting it be a fair free speech platform like it should be. Hey, folks, thanks for joining us again here today at Explain America
