<p>Shark Tank investor Kevin O&#8217;Leary praised Tesla CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s bid for left-wing platform Twitter, ripping the company for censoring views and board members for being ineffective and in need of firing.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Leary told Andrew Sorkin, co-anchor CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box, that Twitter &#8220;is the most miserable investment you could have put your dollars into in social media. It has totally lagged all its other competitors.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk, though, would provide the weak-performing company a way out, the investor said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The best way to look at this is, you gave them a decade, why not get the whacking stick out and just start all over again?&#8221; O&#8217;Leary proposed. &#8220;And that&#8217;s what Elon Musk is proposing.&#8221;</p>
<p>“The biggest risk for shareholders here, whether you believe in the free speech issue or not, is if Musk goes away,&#8221; the businessman warned. &#8220;Then they’re back in the same miserable place they are now. &#8230; When you start to try and figure out who should have a voice and who shouldn’t, you’re stepping on the basic principles of free speech in America. And that really doesn’t sit well with a majority of the population.”</p>
<p>Sorkin pushed back on O&#8217;Leary being a proponent of free speech principles, repeatedly bringing up pornography and snuff films, ignoring the censorship of so-called &#8220;fringe views&#8221; or social media-deemed &#8220;misinformation.&#8221;</p>
<p>“The cost of free speech, the cost to society, is allowing the lunatic fringe to have a voice,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary responded. &#8220;And that’s always been the case, back to when they were writing newspapers by hand. You gotta get over that, Andrew.&#8221;</p>
<p>The investor wasn&#8217;t done yet, he closed the segment by boosting Musk&#8217;s bid for the company and calling for Twitter board members to be &#8220;fired.&#8221;</p>
<p>“It’s horrific what this company has done to their shareholders. I weep like a baby for them. I wouldn’t touch this stock,&#8221; he said. &#8220;However, if Elon Musk gave me a piece of the deal &#8230; I’d back him because of executional performance on everything he touches.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The rest of this board and those employees have done a horrifically bad job,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I think they should be fired.”</p>
<p>For Musk&#8217;s part, the tech billionaire seems to be completely serious about his intention to buy Twitter and take the company private — if the Twitter board cooperates or not.</p>
<p>For example, Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-announces-hes-secured-funding-for-twitter-details-potential-next-move-to-work-around-unresponsive-board">disclosed</a> Thursday morning that he has received commitment letters for $46.5 billion in funding to purchase Twitter, and is eyeing a workaround via a tender offer since the Twitter board has been unresponsive to the billionaire.</p>
