But that celebration appears premature.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On June 1, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing wrote that Twitter had scuttled a deal for the conservative multimedia outlet to screen its massively popular documentary \u201cWhat Is A Woman?\u201d on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/roger-stone-announces-he-will-sue-those-who-arrested-him-and-put-him-in-front-of-a-kangaroo-court\/\" title=\"Roger Stone Announces He Will Sue Those Who Arrested Him and Put Him In Front of a Kangaroo Court\">social media site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After initially agreeing to show the film, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-cancels-deal-with-the-daily-wire-to-stream-what-is-a-woman-over-misgendering-will-label-film-hateful-conduct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boreing says he was told Twitter<\/a> \u201cwould no longer provide us any support and would actually limit the reach of the film and label it as \u2018hateful conduct\u2019 because of \u2018misgendering.\u2019\u201d The news was surprising because after Musk purchased Twitter, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-should-stop-believing-elon-musk-is-committed-to-free-speech-at-twitter\/\" title=\"Stop trusting Elon Musk's dedication to free speech on Twitter.\">site supposedly eliminated previous policies<\/a> on punishing users for so-called \u201cmisgendering\u201d to affirm Musk\u2019s commitment to free speech. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-894516289\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After being called out on his own website over the episode, Musk claimed he overrode the decision of his employees and called the incident \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-responds-to-twitter-canceling-deal-to-stream-what-is-a-woman-a-mistake-by-many-people-at-twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a mistake by many people at Twitter<\/a>.\u201d However, that evening when the Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDailyWire\/status\/1664424891372941312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">posted the documentary to its Twitter account<\/a>, it was slapped with a label that said, \u201cThis Tweet may violate Twitter\u2019s rules against hateful conduct,\u201d and users were not allowed to share the film.<\/p>\n<p>If the only way for free speech to prevail on Twitter is to make an appeal to the site\u2019s easily distracted owner, and even he still can\u2019t prevail over the decision of his employees, it prompts an obvious question: Who is really running Twitter? People who care about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/survey-majority-of-americans-view-cancel-culture-as-threat-to-democracy-freedom\/\" title=\"Survey: Majority of Americans View Cancel Culture as 'Threat to Democracy, Freedom'\">free speech aren\u2019<\/a>t going to like the answer. Musk\u2019s recent selection of wokeist Linda Yaccarino for CEO raises all kinds of alarms.<\/p>\n<h3>The Woke Takeover of Twitter<\/h3>\n<p>Twitter\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/advertisers-slow-to-return-to-twitter-despite-musks-claims-395637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">much-publicized advertiser drought<\/a> must be weighing heavily on Musk, who likely overpaid for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-zuckerberg-bans-president-trump-from-using-facebook-indefinitely\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Zuckerberg Bans President Trump from Using Facebook \u201cIndefinitely\u201d\">social networking platform<\/a>, which is struggling to turn a profit. Viewed in this light, Musk\u2019s selection of Yaccarino makes sense. She is the former chair of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal, where she led a 2,000-member team that generated over $100 billion in ad sales while managing the company\u2019s digital portfolio. Yaccarino appears to be genuinely competent \u2014 not some mediocre diversity hire.<\/p \n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk&#8217;s acquisition of Twitter was seen as a win by the right, but it may have been too soon to celebrate.
