As of October 27, Elon Musk has acquired Twitter.
We have been praying about this issue for months now. Elon celebrated by changing his Twitter bio to “Chief Twit” and tweeting “the bird is freed.”
As the internet reeled from this decision, Musk tweeted out his reasons for buying the platform:

It seems that Musk bought Twitter, as he has claimed for months, to promote and protect free speech. While his words seem wise, there is reason to be cautious. Read his statement embedded above and share your thoughts in the comments.
Let’s pray that Twitter is used as a bastion for free speech, not as a one-stop “everything app.”
The Post Millenial reports that Musk fired and/or pushed out 4 top execs at Twitter by Thursday evening, including the CEO, CFO, head of legal policy, trust, and safety, and the general counsel.
From LifeSite. Why does Elon Musk want Twitter so badly? Is it because he is such a big free speech advocate, that he wants to “save the world” and save us all from the censorious grip of Big Tech? …
Post a prayer for your state!
“We” are being manipulated into the vision of Elon being the free speech shield-bearer – but look at what Musk has revealed recently as to his true motivations for wanting Twitter.
Musk’s vision for Twitter is “one-stop shopping.” E-commerce. He intends to bring social media, banking, auto loans, Amazon type buying, insurance, paying loans and utility bills, medical insurance, service estimates, you name it, under the umbrella of Twitter. Everything you do, buy, or need could be bought on the Twitterverse. This is about power and money. …
Musk’s bigger plan for Twitter is to turn it into a “super app” that “acts as an operating system for people’s digital lives.”
Musk recently stated at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting:
It’s a pretty grand vision. And obviously that could be started from scratch, But I think Twitter would help accelerate that by three to five years.
Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 4, 2022
A little history: When Elon Musk first created PayPal, he called it “X.” Musk recently bought back the rights to use the name X from PayPal and has openly discussed the e-commerce/Twitter site using that name.
Having a super app for commerce and social media means that the risk of getting kicked off Twitter becomes not just a question of free speech and censorship, but of financial risk to each and every person who relies of Twitter as a complete, one-stop e-commerce app.
All it would take is the tiniest pressure or threat of removing someone’s ability to pay a bill or collect a debt and the need to censor would go away as self-censorship would become de rigueur. The amount of power such a corporation would hold over individuals, industries, even whole nations, would be enormous.
Integrating a huge “social media” platform … with a complete e-commerce and financial services app is a very bad idea. …
What do you think of Musk’s idea for an “everything app?” Share your thoughts, prayers, and scriptures below.

LORD, I pray that he and his family turn to YOU! and are saved.
And if he’s going to do all of that with Twitter, could it be used as a way to connect his neuralink to as well?
The world screams in public of unknown issues because it has no leverage upon Mr. Musk. There are no shareholders, He owns it. He needs consult only those he has learned he can trust. He asked a simple question How many of the accounts you claim exist are bots? Fakes just running up the appearance of more vitality than truly exist. Would you continue to employ high level managers that can not count? How many government officials couldn’t duplicate their vote counts in recent elections? Do you still pay them like they are full value to the public who pays them? Give up your theories of conspiracy.. God is into righteous reality. Just balances. True and impartial judiciary. The gray line if vague and programs with unmeasurable success or failure are ending. It is the end of the age. The earth has waxed old like a garment. The bright new idea patches stitched over the failing fabric of a worldly society tear open greater gaps, so easier to see their failure. Mr. Musk is not into ‘salad speak’. He is into results. And how are the fruits of righteousness doing on the vine of your life? Twitter will not be a government bureaucracy, Expect the vine will be pruned to bring forth more fruit.
Just another Amazon?
Maybe I missed it but I didn’t read an “everything, one stop shop place” in his message. I had heard that before from someone that was disgruntled that he was buying Twitter, but you know what? I don’t care! I’m not on any social media, and wonder why any of GOD’S people are! However each person’s walk is different, and each person must answer to GOD for themself! FATHER GOD please let YOUR people seek YOU for which battles to fight! Remind us that All Power in Heaven and earth is in YOUR Hands and JESUS gave us dominion on this earth! Thank YOU that we have all Power and Might on our side, and that we will have what we say. FATHER GOD let us stop running to and fro, but stand firm and take authority over the devil and his demons in every arena and area of life in JESUS NAME! Amen!
It’s alarming in who he’s associated with and the amount of control and new world order these people want. The stole an election. Used Zuckerberg to help them and still do. I think I’ll stay off of Twitter. Free speech is great but would be better through someone trustworthy.
I prayed that no one person or entity could have the power to completely control our finances, communication, or dealings in this country or any other, and that we could continue to pay our bills independently as we do now. So many people, including myself, have been having so many problems with banking
issues, hacking, and identity theft these past few months that it seems to be epidemic in proportion. The greed and evil are rampant. I also pray fervently for wisdom and discernment in our political leaders, that they might return to the Christian values our country was founded on.
Thank you for informing me so I could make a well-informed decision not to be part of the new Twitter! I appreciate you protecting me with the truth and prayer. I have enjoyed being a part of your prayer team for many years!
I did not know that Pay Pal was started by Elon Musk. I do not use it, but many I know, do. I also do not use Twitter, because it thinks I already have an account and won’t let me open a new one. The account that is supposedly mine, is not even me or my information, LOL. I will stick with old school email, snail-mail, Facebook, messenger and Instagram, until those become obsolete. After that, only God knows what I will be using, but it won’t be Pay Pal or Twitter.
