Elon Musk $41B offer for Twitter
Discussion
It will be interesting to see how many of Twitter’s predominantly young, liberal employees wish to continue working for a libertarian billionaire.
It will also be interesting to see how many of Twitter’s most-followed accounts, eg @barackobama, @Cristiano, @CNN, @BBCBreaking, @nytimes will want to continue having their brands associated with a platform owned by a libertarian billionaire.

Probably exactly the same way that the young liberal employees of Tesla, Space X, Boring Co, etc will react…. They love him. It will also be interesting to see how many of Twitter’s most-followed accounts, eg @barackobama, @Cristiano, @CNN, @BBCBreaking, @nytimes will want to continue having their brands associated with a platform owned by a libertarian billionaire.

Is leaving people alone a bad thing now? It will also be interesting to see how many of Twitter’s most-followed accounts, eg @barackobama, @Cristiano, @CNN, @BBCBreaking, @nytimes will want to continue having their brands associated with a platform owned by a libertarian billionaire.

Funny that people on either side think Elon is going to run some extreme right wing 'free speech absolutist' platform, given that nothing he has done ever before points that way.how sweet is that first trump tweet going to be

Maybe sometimes things have lined up that way at certain times when it suited him (all his Covid b
ks), but he's been just as quick to get the CCP to block Tesla critics in China when that was in his interest. 
).No such thing as free speech, and those calling for it most often just mean "my speech"...

Pretty incredible stuff. I wonder what the future for Twitter is now…
Part of me wants to see him, moments after taking the keys, sending an axe through the server room and sending twitter into the abyss, never to rise. Then just walking away from it.That would be some massive F U Money play. I don't know who for or why, but its Twitter and Twitter is a cancerous turd.

Twitter is probably the single most important website.
For what?I use it regularly so I understand how excellent it is for fast breaking news etc. but f
king hell it’s a cesspit already. And it has a tiny active user base compared to Facebook, TikTok, Instagram etc.
Maybe I don't use the other SM sites enough, but if I want to see what someone has got to say about something, I'll look on their twitter page. I don't know anything like it that lets me, a mere powerfully built PH worthy director, read direct from the keyboards of world leaders and experts without a media's agenda, even the BBCs "both sidesism", getting in the way.
