So Elon owns Twitter

So will Twitter become a Free Speech site or a White Supremacy Pulpit. Trump says he will continue to use Propaganda Social but isn't that like a Junkie saying he won't use Heroin after getting out of jail.

It will be what it wasn't before: A free speech site.
The only way it could be a white supremacy site is if it were designated DEMOCRATS ONLY, because Democrats are the ONLY white supremacists in America today.
@Reason10 yea those good people in Charlottesville marching with neo Nazis convinced me,

@Ryderbike Just like those good people in Minneapolis.

I really don't see this as a free speech issue, rather than a freedom of ownership issue.

Just like Trump's TruthSocial, either is free to run things as they want.

I actually I blame the share holders of Twitter for selling out, rather than Musk for attempting to make money.

They knew all along exactly what he intended.

So now it's up to the users whether Musk makes money or not.

I have never sign up for Twitter mostly because I despise the concept of POPULARITY being best.

So I'll never use such social media. Heck I don't even like the rating system on this site despite having known about it for years.

Yet it's not anywhere near the popularity freak show that is on Twitter.

@DeWayfarer Musk will make a fortune off that failing rag. All he has to do is take the ideological shackles off of it and let it be run like THIS place and it will attract TONS of followers. Then just sell ads and rake in the cash.

@Reason10 he'll make money all right, not the reason though.

It's about POPULARITY, that's what makes money.

You can go to any major TV network and see the same cotton picking thing. It doesn't matter if it's FOX or "MS"NBC or Disney's ABC.

All make their money off of POPULARITY.

Nothing stops you from not using anything. Including this site.

Also why I won't use Twitter.
We'll have to see. I just hope it doesn't turn into "free speech" like this:

@Pitchblue It wouldn't be any different from the original terms of Twitter.
But I have a feeling that Twitter might actually embrace the FIRST AMENDMENT.
@Reason10 Algorithms can direct the site any way Elon wants. His point of view, his political views can be reflected through out the site.

@Pitchblue Only time will tell. But I don't think he would have any real need to spend millions of dollars do take over that left wing hack site, unless he wanted to see it more balanced with actual American views, (rather than the woke Fourth Reich stuff there earlier.
Public media, net neutrality -. Nobody knows why we don't govern.
Business is so dangerous and absurd -. You just can't care about people at all. Let them rot.

Probably a white supremacy pulpit since Elon is all talk but no action when it comes to any form of moderation.

If he wants to make money then moderated

Hoping a Twitter replacement emerges soon and all the non-crazies still on Twitter jump ship and make Elon lose money
@SW-User Making Elon lose money sounds wonderful, though I doubt it's possible to bring him down to a level at which he needs to reconsider a single expense, even if the entire world population somehow worked together.
