Elon Musk Delights In Former Twitter ‘Woke Stasi Feeling The Heat’ At Congressional Hearing

Elon Musk seemed to revel in the unrelenting grilling and exposition of former Twitter executives at yesterday’s House Oversight Committee hearing, branding them ‘the woke Stasi’.
As we highlighted, former Twitter Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, former Deputy General Counsel James Baker, and former Global Head of Trust & Safety Yoel Roth were grilled by Representatives, with Congressman Clay Higgins even telling them they could be arrested and jailed for interfering with the 2020 presidential election.
Reacting to the drubbing, Musk tweeted a fire emoji and noted “The Woke Stasi felt the heat today.”
He also included a link to information pertaining to “The Lives of Others,” a movie about East German residents living under the secret police force surveillance state:

Musk also replied “exactly” when a respondent pointed out that the actual Stasi called themselves “antifascist”:
Exactly
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 9, 2023
Meanwhile, Musk found himself the target of Ukrainian President Zelensky’s office Thursday, after SpaceX blocked the Ukrainian government and military from using Starlink technology to control attack drones.
SpaceX reasoned that the technology was “never meant to be weaponized” and was supplied for humanitarian use only.
Presidential spokesman Mykhailo Podolyak intimated that Musk is now with Russia, decreeing that SpaceX must decide whether it is “on the side of the right to freedom” or “on the Russian Federation’s side and its ‘right’ to kill and seize territories”.
A year of 🇺🇦 resistance & companies have to decide:
— Михайло Подоляк (@Podolyak_M) February 9, 2023
-Either they are on the side of 🇺🇦 & the right to freedom, and don’t seek ways to do harm.
-Or they are on RF’s side & its "right" to kill & seize territories.#SpaceX (Starlink) & Mrs. #Shotwell should choose a specific option
Musk had previously made it clear that he wants to see a peace deal and will not have his technology be used as a tool of war:
Becuase if you did allow it, Starlink becomes SkyNet…🤔

Sam Harris: Conservatives “Should Not Have Opinions” On Ukraine, Vaccines, Climate Change
“You’ve got people who are moving the opinions of millions of others, who should not have an opinion on these topics”

Leftist ‘thinker’ Sam Harris declared last week that conservatives should not be allowed to voice their opinions on issues such as the war in Ukraine, climate change, or vaccine safety.
Making the remarks on a podcast, Harris’ argument is that conservative commentators are making a living out of “not caring” and thus should not be allowed to influence anyone else’s opinion.
“We’re swimming in a sea of misinformation, where you’ve got people who are moving the opinions of millions of others, who should not have an opinion on these topics,” Harris proclaimed.
He continued, “There is no scenario in which you should be getting your opinion about vaccine safety or climate change, or the war in Ukraine, or anything else that we might want to talk about from Candace Owens, right?”
“She’s not a relevant expert on any of those topics. And what’s more, she doesn’t seem to care, right?” Harris continued, adding “And she’s living in a culture that has amplified that not caring into a business model, an effective business model, right? That is something very Trumpian about all that.”
Watch:
This is all very rich coming from someone who previously admitted he supported the suppression of reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop immediately prior to the election, if it would prevent Donald Trump from being reelected.
Indeed, Harris went as far as saying “Hunter Biden could have had the corpses of children in his basement. I would not have cared.”
'Hunter Biden could have had the corpses of children in his basement. I would not have cared.'

Harris later pathetically claimed that the New York Post’s reporting on the story was accurate only “by accident.”
After he received backlash for the remarks, Harris rage quit Twitter and is still absent from the platform, refusing to even entertain debate or opinions antithetical to his own:
Given that she was used as an example by Harris, Candace Owens responded:
You heard him! Unless you are an “expert”you are not at all entitled to have an opinion about anything.
— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 15, 2023
Even the drugs that those who are motivated by profit are telling you to take.
Even the manner in which your hard earned money is being spent overseas.
No opinions, please! https://t.co/EnQzrNj1OX
I didn’t go to Stanford University and yet I have an opinion.
— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 15, 2023
That is Sam Harris’ obsession.
He cannot compute how people outside of the academia have any success. https://t.co/fhf6cmDTm0

Democrats Refuse To Address The Contents Of The Twitter Files – Attack The Messengers Instead
Published
2 weeks agoon
12 March, 2023Zero Hedge

There are some that say not much was learned or gained from the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government this past week as politicians sparred over the meaning of the release of the Twitter Files. Democrats in particular seemed adamant that they would not discuss the actual contents of the files or their implications. Their apparent goal? To disrupt exploration of the information and to attack the messengers.
There might not have been many new revelations coming from the subcommittee, but what the public did learn was that the political left is extremely hostile to facts, evidence and the truth. If you didn’t already know that by now, the hearing with Matt Taibbi made it abundantly clear.
Leftist members of the committee proceeded into a tirade when Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger were called to testify on their participation in the publishing of the files, attacking everything from their credentials to their intentions, and even demanding they reveal information on their private sources. Here is the real information the Dems did not want to talk about:
It is well known that Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and Elon Musk have long been liberal leaning in their politics, yet the accusations from Democrats asserted some form of conspiracy between Musk, Taibbi and Republicans, with some members even insinuating an effort to “undermine democracy.” What right did they have to take this position?
They claim that Musk and Taibbi are hiding data that shows Trump and Republicans were making requests to censor Twitter users as well. In other words, they assert there is a “conspiracy” to protect Republicans while denouncing Democrats.
But what are the facts here?
Taibbi has said on numerous occasions that there were requests from Republicans as well as Democrat officials for accounts to be censored or blocked. He never hid this from anyone. This argument is a cover, a distraction from two separate issues:
First, the government should NEVER be involved in censorship requests of the public for any reason. It doesn’t matter which party is making the requests, and a criminal investigation should be pursued for any officials involved in legitimate 1st Amendment violations.
Second, who did Twitter actually censor? Which requests did they actually honor? The vast majority of accounts censored by the previous Twitter management were conservative accounts, conservative news sources and posts with content that ran contrary to Democrat narratives. Republicans like Trump might have made requests, but how many people were blocked on Twitter in response?
Democrats complain about the Twitter Files being weighted in favor of the political right wing, but maybe that is because most of the requests for censorship came from the DNC and Biden controlled agencies, and most of the people censored were conservatives. It’s weighted against Democrats because they more commonly use censorship as a weapon.
A stunning 99% of online political contributions made by Twitter employees in 2021 went to Democrats, according to Federal Election Commission data. Are we really supposed to believe that Twitter has been acting for the benefit of both parties, or just one?
The M.O. of the political left for the past several years now has been cancel culture attacks to silence their opponents and shut down dissent. Major social media companies are by far more progressive in their affiliations than conservative, and have been a key tool for leftists in targeting and removing contrary speech. No one on the left talks about being shut down by conservatives, it is always the reverse.
The social dynamic in the US has been completely out of balance for many years, with corporations and government agencies widely backing the most extreme segments of the far-left. This is where they get their power. They certainly don’t get power from being the majority, woke activists are a tiny portion of the overall population and one that is widely despised. They have been feared in the past only because corporations and the government back them. The Twitter Files prove this collusion in detail.
Even moderate liberals like Musk or Taibbi are being run through the gauntlet of character assassination these days because they dared to oppose certain aspects of the far-left agenda. But the bottom line is this – Only the political left and some Neo-Cons within the GOP have displayed open disdain for the dissemination of the truth. We saw this with the Biden Laptop story. We saw this with covid facts that were inconvenient to the establishment narrative. And, we saw this recently with Tucker Carlson’s release of suppressed J6 footage.
The average conservative and liberty minded independent sees sunlight as the best disinfectant, while establishment elitists and woke activists view open discussion and debate of information as a “dangerous” frivolity. We believe that the truth is arrived at through discourse. They believe that the truth is what they say it is.
The Twitter Files have torn open the veil obscuring big government and big tech collusion and this makes certain people very nervous and very angry. Take note of who those people are. Who is enraged? Who is hostile to the exposure of government censorship? Those are the real villains that need to face scrutiny, not the messengers passing the information along.

Video: Twitter Files Journalist Michael Shellenberger Warns Of ‘Censorship-Industrial Complex’
“The rise of a for-profit censorship industry funded by American taxpayers to censor real-world information”

Journalist Michael Shellenberger, who testified Thursday before the House regarding his involvement with the Twitter Files, has warned of a “very disturbing” movement toward a “Censorship-industrial complex” being implemented by the government.
Speaking about his testimony and attempts by Democrats to get him to reveal his journalistic sources, as well as just having plain insults thrown at him and being called a threat to Democracy, Shellenberger told Tucker Carlson that the hearing “was a very disturbing event.”
“They then proceeded to demand to know who our sources were, which of course, we were unwilling to share with them,” Shellenberger continued, adding “We were revealing here this is way beyond woke censorship within Twitter,”
The journalist urged that “we have now discovered a censorship-industrial complex that includes government-funded entities that are doing state-sponsored censorship.”
“They are now seeking widespread use of artificial intelligence to censor accurate information,” Shellenberger continued, adding “We’ve now seen Facebook and Twitter caught censoring accurate information about coronavirus vaccinations because they were worried that it would lead to vaccine hesitancy.”
“The story has really evolved, and there is much more to say on it we are still discovering quite a bit of information, but what you’re basically seeing here is the rise of a for-profit censorship industry funded by American taxpayers to censor real-world information,” Shellenberger asserted.
Watch:
Here are the clips of the Democrats asking both Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi to expose their sources:

All of this is happening under the context of the Biden Federal Trade Commission going directly after the journalists and Elon Musk for daring to expose the censorship activities of the deep state.
