I don't understand the rules and don't have a horse in the race, but i do find the whole thing very interesting.

Yeah, right- you bet against Trump on everything and are making millions.

I like to call out when people dont realize they actually just hate the guy to the point its toxic, its quite entertaining watching these gymnastics move from political optics to personal financials. You know it's ok just to hate the guy on a personal level? Whys nobody like to admit that.. lol

[vickissick07]

Libs looking absolutely pathetic in this thread lmfao. They're terrified of losing their echo chamber

[GooBaaa]

Inb4 Twitter bans Elon

[Bushmaster]

I don't like him at all, but I don't hate him. That's too strong of a sentiment. This was about easy money. If you had followed the business from the start, you'd know it was going to be a very bumpy ride, and that's without factoring in the usual SPAC turbulence. Stop being so emotional.

Nice. Hopefully my friends and I stop getting banned and having to make new accounts with new phone numbers if he takes over.

His plan for total free speech will not succeed unless it is in the dark web.

Most countries have hate, defamation, privacy and confidentiality laws which means it will be impossible to have a free-for-all Twitter just floating around on the web. It would end up getting banned.

i wouldnt provide a phone number, i lost my account over it lol

[AlwaysFocus]

is Elon actually a troll? can he go after them for slander?

[fitnessislife]

Lmfao. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Remember when Trump was going to cause WW3 and the destruction of Earth?

Vanguard has bought enough shares to put the, at 10% ownership, more than Elon


Someone def doesn’t want Elon to allow free speech to prevail

I honestly can't imagine going through life seething about someone i've never met to the point i take any chance i can to screech about them online.
especially if that person wasn't even from my country and had no bearing on my life at all.

get over it, let it go, and wipe the sand out of your vagina.

sheesh.

A free for all twitter is probably unnecessary. Tweets calling to murder someone or to burn a city down for example probably aren’t a great idea

I’m sure there’s a happy medium between that and some mean tweets

[Kewbrah]

It really is mind blowing what the left has come to.

Hoping that a foreign royal family that oversees the most repressive society on the planet (where political enemies are tortured to death and women aren't allowed to drive or leave the house without an escort) will help them to prevent free speech and multiple political views from appearing on a media platform.

There is a huge distance between "total free speech" and targeted banning of elected politicians and comedy websites for partisan reasons.

[markkillerings]

Really telling how it's the lefties and media that are having a meltdown over this. Should tell you this is a good thing.

that one dude who tweeted blm should burn it all down.

then tweeted a few hours later told the mob to fuk right off because they turned towards his neighborhood.

yeah tweets like that along with the ones who called rittenhouse a white supremacist should are prime examples of what shouldn't be allowed on twitter or any social media.

Not really sure brah. He's a public figure. Not sure how that works.

Yes agreed that’s what I said

Calling rittenhouse a white supremacist is fine that should be allowed. Telling people to burn cities though yeah that should be at least moderated to some degree

The irony and hypocrisy is beyond staggering.

Yep, was agreeing with you brah, though I see I didn't word that clearly

Ur a cool guy man

[Latinowarrior3]

It's a great move, but lets be real. Twitters board will deny his offer and accept whatever responsibility comes from screwing their stakeholders.

Legal responsibilities don't matter in this case. They won't allow anyone to occasionally criticize the jews.

[i3oosted]

It’s a publicity traded company, the F do they mean no? lmao

Enjoy the $30 shares and lawsuits.

[Bodhy]

What gets me is that if the rich conservatives are overly worried about censorship on Twitter, why don't they pool their collective wealth in order to solve the issue?


Though I'm not explicitly for or against Musk buying Twitter, their right to enforce their terms of service doesn't change regardless of who buys it. Even if Trump bought Twitter and banned anyone who contravened his election lies and stupid conspiracy theories, it would be entirely his prerogative since he would own the platform.


Would Musk's purchase be good for Twitter? That depends on whether one asks whether it's boosting the company's profitability or whether it would make a better experience for users. What about profitability? Possibly, ******** has had a good run of things catering to misinformation and right-wing conspiracy.


Would it be good for the country? Probably not.
