Oh The Irony (Twitter Ownership)

Lots of speculation about what Elon Musk means by "free speech", and his ability as a Personnnel Director, but I have just learnt Twitter's other primary owner is the Royal Family of that bastion of democracy and civilised protection of opposing political and religious views.....

.... Saudi Arabia.

I wonder how much longer it'll take for Musk's right-wing fans to realize that Twitter's customers are the advertisers — who don't like controversy — while they themselves are Twitter's product.

@ElwoodBlues Whatever their personal politics, that's so of data-harvesting Facebook, Instagram, Google etc. users too.

@ArishMell True. But some folks seem to expect Twitter to be fundamentally different after the Musk purchase.

@ElwoodBlues Well, we will see. I think I am glad I do not use it. (Nor Facebook & Instagram come to that.)
