Every bit as savvy as Rupert buying MySpace. He’ll turn it into a sewer, users will flock to another site, and those lost billions will be written off.
Good luck to Musk, he only now has to get the approval of the SEC and their Anti Trust Division. Then hope China won’t mess with him with too much when thirty or forty threads go viral. Also what our noble politicos will come up with.
I can’t wait to see some free speech from Al-Qaeda with some unedited video of justice.. as they see it. The dark web is just too complicated for us moderates.
Thanks for the comments, conservatives! I would have never known how to think about Elon’s purchasing Twitter. With laughter. Raucous, thigh-slapping, side-slapping laughter. Bless you all.
Eccentric Billionaire Accomplishes More For Free Speech In One Afternoon Than Republicans Have In Decades – The Babylon Bee
WORLD—According to sources, an eccentric immigrant entrepreneur from South Africa just accomplished more for free speech than Republicans have in decades of controlling the government, wielding Federal power, and spending trillions of dollars.
“Wow! Who is this guy? He’s really making us look bad here,” said one Republican Senator. “This Twitter deal is such a huge step forward for freedom of expression! Wow! Imagine if other conservative wealthy people did stuff like that instead of funding our reelection campaigns? Um, wait—I didn’t mean that. Scratch that. Are you recording this?”
Experts concur that Twitter being purchased by a private entity instead of publicly owned by shadowy corporate interests and foreign governments will help secure Twitter’s place as a free speech platform. Other changes, such as an open-source algorithm, clear and fairly enforced rules, and a commitment to the free exchange of ideas are expected to accomplish more for freedom and human advancement than anything Republican congressmen have ever done in their entire careers.
“Man, why didn’t I think of doing something like that?” said the Republican Senator. “If you vote for me, I’ll form a committee after the election season to explore the reasons we didn’t think of that!”
To save face, Republicans have promised to cook up something extra special for voters next year in the form of a strong resolution saying free speech is good.

I really wish folks would make up their minds: will Musk’s leadership of Twitter be good or bad?

Regardless of one’s political positions, believing that an evil, corrupt, vile man like Elon Musk will improve twitter is delusional.

Personally I could care less if Trump gets back on Twitter. He’s the Right’s best stand up comedian out there. Tucker’s a close second…
