It also doesn’t take a genius to realize that Musk, as owner of a privately held company used by millions of people, will have various interests at play that will ensure moderation of some form stays in place.

Who decides who’s unsavory?
Liked for "gnashing of teeth", lots of that going around right now
That's the point and problem with all of this -- there will NEVER be agreement about key things here.
It's literally impossible to solve this issue of "who is good, who is bad, what is true, what is not, what's ok behavior, what is not". It won't get solved under Elon -- it will just get shifted
A place that is mostly a "free for all" -- will not be a place most people want to hang out anymore.
I don't mind leaving Twitter for the same reason I'd never buy a Tesla - can't stand the guy.
You joined just now to tell people to join Truth Social? ? ? ?
Isn't that the site with a super long waiting list?
Trump's social media app misses another deadline as users report issues
Tech issues are likely at fault, sources tell Axios.
Assuming you can even reach the site...
Troubled Trump app Truth Social goes down
It was the ‘worst I’ve ever seen it,’ one user wrote.
www.independent.co.uk
Why are they banning and censoring users?
Trump’s free speech app Truth Social is censoring content and kicking off users
Nearly 500,000 people are on the app’s “waitlist”.
So now the most successfully producer of electric cars in the world doesn’t care about the environment? ok.
I have never had an account, maybe it is time to open one up.
Elon isn't fighting for 'free speech' - he's fighting against accountability. He always has.
Read up on EV's (I own one by the way)
It's also not even close to the core of the issues with CC
Awesome, dude. I guess now you can cross "owning a lib" off of your daily checklist. Have a nice life.
Meh, typical comment to get likes.
The power of social media is incredible specifically because it allows for people to get organized for stuff that they deem important, such as those listed in your tweet. A good, better twitter (regardless of the owner’s identity) is in the interest of everyone. And I am someone that dislikes social media.
He has the largest EV brand on the planet, how's that not helping to address climate change? Poverty is never going to cease to exist. The war on poverty is/was a bogus initiative much like the war on drugs was.
Wait wait...
We are talking bout social media, right?
We are talking bout Musk, yeas??
You've lost me on that one...
I find it funny that one of the reasons why he wanted to buy it, was to bring back „free speech without limits“. Clearly he hasn’t heard of the EU and their anti-speech law that is going to be enforced soon
Because twitter is the sewer of the Internet. You can only go up from the absolute bottom. Start by firing the board members that own less than 1% stock.
Great - waiting to hashtag my Model Y to autopilot it's way home, and DM me as soon as it arrives.
If people are genuinely concerned about the content that will fill Twitter after this, leaving the platform could make matters worse. You'd essentially be creating an echo chamber, and Twitter will turn into 4chan
We are going to learn about how the moderation works with full transparency now, right?
And we get to see what is driving the algorithm and why, right?
Right?
When he nukes the ElonJet account, I'm excited to see the reasoning..

Worst platform for personal accountability. People just rip each other mostly anonymously, build hatred for anyone with a different opinion and get riled up by bots sitting in other countries built specifically to generate hate.
