The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rFNCsSBnYVg\"><span>video<\/span><\/a><span> opens with a therapist meeting with one of those workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s terrible. I can\u2019t even,\u201d the distraught woman tells the therapist. \u201cI have literally lost my ability to even.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After confirming that the woman didn\u2019t experience a true tragic loss, like a death in the family or being misgendered, the therapist lands on the source of her troubles. The employee is freaking out because Musk made a bid to purchase Twitter outright, and she\u2019s afraid the deal could happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat is it about Elon buying Twitter that actually bothers you?\u201d the therapist asks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf he buys our free speech platform, people will be able to have free speech on our platform\u201d the woman cries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWell, that\u2019s just stupid,\u201d the therapist agrees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLet\u2019s go a little deeper. What exactly bothers you about somebody having free speech on our free speech platform?\u201d the therapist presses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf we don\u2019t have the unilateral power to ban ideas we don\u2019t like, we\u2019d actually have to discuss and defend our ideas based on their own merit,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAnd \u2026 what\u2019s the problem with that?\u201d the therapist asks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s just \u2026 everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi,\u201d the Twitter employee explains. \u201cSo it\u2019s imperative that I change their mind with force and violence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><span>The Babylon Bee is uniquely qualified to comment on the drama currently brewing between Twitter employees and Musk. The Daily Wire originally <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-contacted-the-babylon-bee-before-buying-9-of-twitter\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> that the South African billionaire contacted them before making his offer to purchase Twitter. He\u2019s allegedly a big fan of the satire site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMusk reached out to us before he polled his followers about Twitter\u2019s commitment to free speech,\u201d Bee CEO Seth Dillon shared on Twitter. \u201cHe wanted to confirm that we had, in fact, been suspended. He even mused on that call that he might need to buy Twitter. Now he\u2019s the largest shareholder and has a seat on the board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0The Babylon Bee account was suspended in March after they jokingly named Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine \u201cMan of the Year.\u201d Levine is transgender and identifies as a woman despite being born a biological male. Babylon Bee has been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-responds-to-babylon-bees-appeal-keeps-them-locked-out-of-their-account\"><span>locked out of Twitter<\/span><\/a><span> ever since due to \u201chateful conduct.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOur support team has determined that a violation did take place, and therefore we will not overturn our decision,\u201d the company shared on their decision to suspend the popular account. They offered to reinstate the account if the offending post was deleted, but Dillon refused.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re not deleting anything. Truth is not hate speech,\u201d the CEO wrote. \u201cIf the cost of telling the truth is the loss of our Twitter account, then so be it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
