Elon buys Twitter and in the first couple of days the word N****r goes up 500%

Will regular users bail out and let Twitter become another Rightwing Extremist Site. Elon has already retweeted lies about Paul Pelosi.

I think Twitter be in for a rocky transition. Its success will depend on what advertisers think of the audience response to the many hardline comments that will flow through Twitter. Do advertisers what their products to be associated with a hardline right wing increasingly antagonistic social media website?

@Ynotisay social media platforms are already struggling with the loss of advertising revenue resulting from Apples do not follow policy, which is a good one that protects users from Data harvesting.
If Elon wants to kill Twitter, let him.

@justanothername You're right. And I'm all for the quick death of Twitter and those like them in their present form. The harm they do is FAR greater than anything positive they provide. From political insanity to teenagers killing themselves. Overall I don't think we're prepared to responsibly and intelligently handle those types of forums.

@Ynotisay correct. I’m not against social media, it’s very useful but not at the expense of my personal data.

Wasn't that something? And then Mr. Free Speech deleted it. Perfect.
My hope is that it does turn in to a right wing swamp because the next step is advertisers leaving in droves. The prolific users have been leaving for a while. Remove those who don't want to be part of an extremist movement and twitter goes belly up.
Couldn't happen to a better person. I'm hopeful that twitter crashes and burns.

The Nazis used free speech to incite violence against the Jews.

He will have to put in some rules or the site will no longer be mainstream.

I know that he wants to change the game and usher in a new social media revolution of total freedom like in the 90s but he has underestimated everything. Elon is pretty crazy

@REMsleep Elon is racist. Elon can have algorithms written to reflect his personal and political beliefs.

@REMsleep @Pitchblue I don't have information enough to say that he is racist because I don't follow him closely but he does give me some of those vibes. I look at who surrounds him, what he allows at Twitter and some of his elitist background in South African Diamond mines. He has also made some comments about needing more white kids.
Im not against anyone wanting to further their own racial group but altogether it makes me lean towards him being possibly racist. I'd believe it.

@REMsleep I based that on complaints at Tesla. I believe his background is a lot like Trump's. They both had racist fathers.

I am not on Twitter, but if I were, now would be the time I left!
