The internet-o-sphere is atwitter - pun intended - over Elon Musk's offer to buy 100% of Twitter and take the company private. Everyone who has decried social media censorship of dissenting opinions is cheering this on, including me. Let's hope he succeeds.

But there is another aspect to this I haven't heard people talk about, which is that Musk's offer, whether successful or not, proves there is certainly a non-government solution to Big Tech censorship. I talk about that on today's episode of Tom Mullen Talks Freedom.

In fact, if every person who voted for Trump in 2020 merely threw $600 into an LLC, they could have bought Twitter outright at Musk's offering price of $54.20 per share. 

Compare direct action like that to the probability of achieving your goals by 1. raising money for politicians, 2. getting them elected. 3. Getting them to do what you want once in office.

How many times has that strategy been successful?

This doesn't just apply to conservatives fighting Big Tech censorship. It applies to everything. If liberals don't want oil drilled on certain environmentally important land, then buy the land and ban oil drilling. As with fighting censorship, you have a much better chance of controlling what happens on land you own then trying to get politicians to regulate land you don't own.

That the federal government owns about 27% of the land area of the USA is a problem for this strategy on that particular land - which should have far-left liberals/socialists checking their premises - but there is plenty more available to be bought and managed however the owners see fit.

Bottom line: You have a right to what you own and nothing more. 

Most of what you don't own will cost you money to acquire. Here is something that won't: You can download a free e-book copy of my ebook, It’s the Fed, Stupid​​​​​​ here.

We're already feeling one effect of the Fed's mismanagement of the economy: rapidly rising prices. Later this year, we're likely to feel the other effect - the painful end of the boom-bust cycle.

Most people believe electing a different president changes economic outcomes. On the margins, maybe it does. Biden certainly hasn't helped gas prices by closing pipelines.

But the real prime mover of the economy as a whole is the Federal Reserve System and this is by no means a good thing. 

It's the Fed, Stupid is also available in paperback here. It’s priced at a pre-hyperinflation level so grab a few copies for friends if you can.

It makes a great introduction to the government’s most economically damaging institution for liberals, conservatives, libertarians, socialists, and independents alike.

It also helps me keep the lights on here so I can continue to bring you great content.
