Friends,
Not long ago, Elon Musk bought Twitter, changed his bio to Chief Twit,
and sent me a DM that said: “Do you want the Babylon Bee restored?
There will be no censorship of humor.”

We've been trying to think of a joke worth $44 billion ever since.
But as resourceful and committed to free speech as he is, Musk is
still just one man, and X is just one platform. Censorship remains the
law of the land on virtually every other social media site run by Big
Tech. X is a welcome but rare exception. Just a couple of months ago,
I was notified that the conservative David Horowitz Freedom Center was
permanently suspended by Vimeo for posting a talk I'd given about
censorship. Just think about the irony of that for a second. As if
they wanted to make my point for me more emphatically than I ever
could, THEY CENSORED MY TALK ABOUT CENSORSHIP.
IT’S CLEAR TO US THAT WHAT THE CENSORS WANT IS SUBMISSION. They want
unquestioning conformity. They want us to give up and stop fighting.
Stop telling jokes. Stop telling the truth. They want to raise the
cost of speaking freely so high that we'd rather just keep our mouths
shut to avoid all the hassle and penalties. They’re asking us if
we’re willing to silence ourselves just to make things easier.
OUR ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. THE TRUTH IS WORTH IT. FREE SPEECH IS WORTH
MORE THAN WHATEVER THEY CAN TAKE FROM US.
Of course, that's easier said than done. Standing against the
censorious Left takes resources. I can tell you right now, The Babylon
Bee would not have been able to take the stand that we did against
Twitter if it hadn't been for the support of our subscribers.
That's our safety net. That's what gives us the confidence to fight
back against big tech without being afraid of them putting us out of
business. They can hurt us. Sure, they can reduce our reach and smear
us in the media, but they can't shut us down. We have our supporters
to thank for that. I HOPE YOU'LL CONSIDER JOINING THE FIGHT BY
BECOMING A PAID SUBSCRIBER TO THE BABYLON BEE.

But don't just support us. Support defenders of freedom wherever you
find them. Subscribe to X Premium to support Elon. Ditch Disney and
subscribe to the Daily Wire. Back anyone bold enough to say what's
true, even if it comes at a cost. Especially if it comes at a cost.
They'll be that much more fearless and that much harder to stop if
they have a whole army of freedom-loving subscribers at their backs.
YES, I'LL STAND WITH THE BEE

Thanks for standing with us. We will continue to stand with you.
