Well, this is certainly interesting!
Yesterday, we brought you the news that Russell Brand was struck down by YouTube.
Censored.
Given a strike.
Details here:
Of course, YouTube can't really say what he did wrong and it's just a big coincidence that the strike appears right before he launches a new show on Rumble.
Why is YouTube so scared?
And here's the irony of it all...
If YouTube had simply allowed free speech and not started banning everyone, they'd still have a monopoly and Rumble would not even exist!
Go back and read that last sentence again, it's 100% true!
They shot themselves in their own foot.
But now I want to advance the story because this is where it gets really interesting.
Is Elon Musk about to enter the scene?
He's already in the process of buying Twitter (which I've been on record as saying still goes through and you're currently just witnessing a big show in the meantime)...
And while he's messing with Twitter is he about to get into the YouTube/Rumble brawl too?
Possibly!
Let me bring you up to speed...
So it starts with Russell Brand's tweet below making the announcement he's been censored:

Fine, we've all seen that.
But then it gets really interesting.
Elon slides into RB's replies and posts this:
Good point
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 27, 2022
It's always fascinating when Elon just drops into a conversation, and he does it a lot.
So then Dan Bongino jumps in replying to Elon and saying Elon should team up with Rumble:
Elon,
It would be really incredible if you and Rumble got together. A force multiplier like no other.— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) September 27, 2022
Elon actually replied!
But it was pretty disappointed.
We've all experienced a "blow off" reply, and that's what Dan got here:
I’m a little preoccupied rn
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 27, 2022
But it didn't end there.
Then Chris Pavovski, the founder of Rumble jumps into the conversation!
He tells Elon he was at SpaceX 12 years ago and he wants to team up:
Elon, I founded Rumble and forever wanted to work with you. Below is from 2010 when I visited SpaceX. I was ready 12 years ago, and I'm ready 12 years from now. Whenever you're ready 🚀
In the meantime, let's peer our datacenters with Starlink to secure free speech 🙂 pic.twitter.com/TkWHDTGtrp

Elon replies again and this time it's more open:
Maybe worth talking at some point
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 28, 2022
That is where it stands as of press time for this article.
So...where will this go?
We need free speech on ALL platforms.
I saw a great post the other day that I really loved.
It said:Â BAN Banning.
Perfectly said.
Stop banning people.
Let people talk.
Stop removing them from all platforms just because you don't like one thing they said.
If they have a bad idea, let the marketplace tell them that.
Let the idea be vetted by millions of voices and let the good ones rise to the top and the bad ones sink.
That's how America was founded.
Why are these freaks -- the so-called "Elites" -- suddenly so paranoid about people being able to speak freely?
The million dollar question...
