Trump welcomed back. That First Amendment thing is a thorn in the side of Democrats. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/elon-musk-says-trump-reinstated-twitter-more-15-million-users-voted-poll
Everyone needs to stop these foolish arguments and decide what "free speech" really is. There has to be some limitation, as in yelling fire, or more recently, gunshots, in crowded environments, to spreading blatant lies, aka alternate facts, or making fun of others publicly, or actually slandering others. Allowing all of those unchecked is disastrous to society.
@graphite keep trying to convince yourself. You do know that the Dems still control the Senate and the reps have such a narrow majority in the house, that they will need democratic votes to pass legislation. Fortunately, the Dems do believe in democracy and may vote if the legislation is favorable to the people, unlike the reps who vote in lock step as if they have only one brand n amongbthem, and vote like lemmings.
"favorable to the people" 🤣 Like opening the borders and flooding the country with fentanyl, handicapping the petroleum industry and driving fuel prices through the roof, freeing criminals to go out and commit more crimes (the exodus is on from Democrat cities)... With "goodness" like this...
Democrats are used to total control over social media: Facebook. Google/YouTube, Twitter have all served the Democrat Party for years now. Musk is liberating Twitter! [media=https://youtu.be/syu3Yobm_EY]
@BizSuitStacy My local (Democrat) news show is giving a blow-by-blow account of Musk supposedly flailing over at Twitter. Democrats are frantic about Musk's takeover of something that had belonged to them. The funniest part about it is Musk made his fortune selling the EVs Democrats love so much. (Hence, Biden saluting Ford and GM for selling EVs while ignoring Musk, who outsells both as far as EVs)
@graphite Elon presents such a threat, democrats are going to investigate him. LOL. In the meantime, buckle up for all kinds of stories about how Twitter is suddenly failing.
@BizSuitStacy Already seeing those stories. Democrats have manned their news networks and "investigative" agencies to try to destroy Twitter, now that it no longer works exclusively for them.
It’s not free speech if you reinstate a former President’s account because of a poll. Musk said he was a free speech absolutist, but he won’t reinstate Alex Jones.
he isnt reactivating Alex Jones account though... not that i think he should... but basically musk isnt about freedom of speech its just whatever he feels like. there are no rules and no rights... its complete tyranny
Y'all really don't get it, do you? Twitter users are up, not because he's doing a good job of it, but because people are watching a sinking ship in real-time.
The 1A has absolutely nothing to do with private companies banning an insurrectionist from their platform. You have no idea what "freedom of speech" is. Neither Musk or the rest of you drones do.
It was inevitable. My Pillow Guy will probably have a big commercial promotion agreements with Twitter soon. And Trump might invite his god-wife Paula White to join Twitter too. Trump is a pure weasel.
@jshm2 he will strip every penny of value out of it, including any retirement funds, then take a huge tax write off, that is what people like he do, perfectly legal, but his ethics, deplorable
