So, Elon did it!

44 billion...

It will be interesting to watch everything play out. Some people will leave, but I’m guessing many more will register there for the first time.

OMG!! America has never had freedom of speech written into its Constitution
and enacted as an abiding social practice in our discourse until now.

The First Amendment guarantees that Americans can speak freely without harassment from the government. Social media isn't the government.

Good for him.

 

[orb451]

Now hopefully he can run that steaming pile of shit into the abyss from whence it came.

This will have a big impact on the social sphere

A) More shitty and divisive?
B) Less shitty and divisive?
C) About equally shitty and divisive as it has become?

Wow! I did not know that.

We'll see if the skies open and the Lord rains Manna down from Twitter Heaven.

You seem upset by this acquisition.

If that don't show people that money talks than I don't know what will. I hope he buy's Facebook too and tear them down to make rocket platform's out of them.

This is a positive for those that actually believe in free speech, and a blow against those that do not. Best luck Elon!

Free speech is our GOD giving right and that's the way it should be.

Apparently free speech costs $44 billion

So basically Musk just spent billions to make it even easier for him to get in trouble with the SEC.

The cost of providing every idiot their soapbox = priceless.

My tweeter account has no followers and follows no-one, I have 12 friends on facelook including 2 duplicates, and I've not signed into my instantgram in years. This forum is my only social medium - whatever Mr Musk does will have limited impact on my daily free speaking. Besides free speaking is over rated - we're all full of crappola.

Reality surpasses fiction, but yet this is amusing to watch:

Will Elon Musk take the further step that Mike Prince is aiming at the last episode of Season 6?

I will not spoil it. It is worth to watch the 6 seasons to arrive to there

Yup. He ain't the Free Speech Messiah, nor the Disinformation Pariah.

We do live in an age of "Prisoners of the Moment," and emotional overreactiveness, though.
I see nothing from him, or reactions to his acts, that will change that anytime soon.
