Elon Musk and the Twitter acquisition saga

With Musk possibly changing twitter policies it will be impossible to say how things would have gone in a few months if twitter stayed course and Truth social had that market to itself. Musk's stated intent is free speech so that does put him in direct competition. He's right "Truth Social" is a terrible name.

These same people would throw an absolute shitfit if someone said that about someone they like and support.

He's correct.
Truth Social is toast if everything at Elon's Twitter goes to planned and it's turned into a true free speech platform.

These people are a direct threat to democracy, hence why Elon bought Twitter in the first place.

It actually is.
Ancients have built the Pyramids and the great wall of China. Achievements based on strong fundamentals in physics and craftmanship that needed an effective education system to train a very large labor force for a long time.
And religions are very broad, Each started in an era, the the following centuries newcomers altered things the ones after them altered on top of the alteration, the result in whole would seem chaotic to those who don't know the original message of a religion.

Believe what you want to believe just don't force that shit on other people
and for me the original message of a religion is bullshit

That influx of new users the last few days people suspected were accounts being unbanned by panicking engineers is more likely an influx of trolls from troll farms.
Twitter workers freaking out over Elon Musk in internal Slack messages
Leaked internal communications by Twitter employees reveal woke employees are overtaken by despair and anger about Elon Musk’s month-long effort to acquire Twitter.

I think it's funny one Twitter employee talks about how Elon is a danger to marginalized people.
Naturally, later in the story, a Twitter employee who apparently is an immigrant is totally fine with Elon buying it.
As is almost always the case, you have upper middle class white people thinking they know how all minorities think and feel, and turns out is very often not the reality.

And in many cases, actively attacking or shouting down minorities that disagree with them. Hasn't the other place full-on endorsed racial slurs against non-woke people of color, for example?

They have a mod who has endorsed exterminating them.

Developing your platform standards around politics is a poor place to start
And from my experience it's those closer to the middle that are the issue. You have genuinely insightful people on the left and right whether you agree or not. And then some absolute clog brained blue wave idiots calling themselves centrist whose greatest fear is something different

Elon Musk and Twitter employee reinstate Alex Jones’s account live on Joe Rogan’s podcast
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Really? Try to buy beer in Utah. Or get an abortion in Ireland. Or bang a hot chick in India. Religions stifle normal human behavior around the world.

Nah he is more like the Ford or Howard Hughes of our era. He hasn’t created any break throughs just pushes the limits of what we can do.

If these are intentionally planted for later this is legit solid thinking ahead.
It seems he's implying making unhappy the 10% to the left rather than happy the 10% to the right.
This puts him in a good position to classify any future(or current) competitors as these extremes which plays into a moderate narrative.
Twitter would still be the central town square in the scenario while the others would serve a rehabilitative role and outlet during "time outs".

And when neither get their way and starting bleating on about freedom of speech again… they can be pointed towards this tweet.

They can't blame Elon because he is an African American and it is illegal to have racist thoughts.

At the moment, I'd put that down to huffing on the copium. They're listing reasons why Musk *could* pull out... not offering any actual evidence it's going to happen.
Here's the article if anyone wants to read:

Haha indeed I got trolled ^^. I looked at some of his Tweets and had a good laugh.

yea I think there's a good chance he backs out due to the china/tesla entanglement
playing both sides not unlike joe rogan; espousing free speech while cashing in to self censorship

We'll see, but you'd hope he'd have enough business nous to have considered the China element before purchasing.

apparently there's a provision in their deal that he can't disparage twitter while trying to buy it, which he's already doing as well
"The tweets brought attention to a provision in Musk’s agreement with Twitter that he must not disparage the social media platform while discussing the deal. It is unclear whether they could trigger the provision, or if doing so would lead to any penalties"

Already edited my post. I realize the angle I was going down would take too long to explain properly and would be completely pointless in the end given the opinion of Gaf overall to the situation.
The politics section taught me to recognize a wall when I see one and to save my time accordingly. I just didn't see the flag before I hit post this time. It's late.

In an alternate universe Bezos buys Twitter and doubles down on censorship and partisan bias. Bad ending.
It's really crazy that of all people someone from SA then Canada ended up in America to be the one to reinstill American ideals.

What's funny is some guy responded to that tweet saying that elon was endangering that female lawyer and that she was now going to face harassment and threats because of him, meanwhile tons of people who share the views of this guy are actively calling for elon to be murdered or saying they will do it themselves. These people don't live in reality.
Fear not citizen, for the new Ministry of Truth will set things right:
Biden sets up a new 'Disinformation Governance Board' under DHS
Biden set up a new board to combat disinformation related to homeland security - headed by a woman who questioned the validity of Hunter's laptop and criticized free speech on social media.
