I hope he just deletes it altogether permanently once he's acquired it.

Besides, he'll make back that 43 billion in a few months.

Because the richest man in the world buying one of the biggest social media companies in the world just because he broke the ToS once and wants to change the rules is like peak end-stage capitalism. Grim shit.

I'm conflicted on this one because Elon is a dick, but his motives for running Twitter are probably good overall.

Social media platforms have become pervasive enough in recent years that they really do need to have free speech as their foundation. "It's a private company and they do what they want" doesn't really fly as an argument when 2-3 companies have a stranglehold on public discourse on the Internet.

Spreading blatant lies that kill people should not be allowed specifically because of how pervasive these private websites are. We need to hold them ethically responsible for what is said on their platforms.

His motive is that he wants to manipulate stock prices using social media posts.

He will also definitely ban that kid who's posting his travel information, so lol at him talking about free speech.

The Venn diagram of people who complain about free speech on the internet and people who have no idea what free speech is is a single circle, I swear.

Zero. Twitter is too large to fail, really. There's so many people using it that even if another site did pop up, most people won't bother migrating to it and will simply stay where they are. 99% of the users of Twitter probably don't care who owns what.

The majority of people who use Twitter don't care about politics at all.

One of his key beliefs is that social media shouldn't engage in self-censorship, so I hope we're all ready for Trump and QAnon's return.

But it would cost more than $43 billion to fix the entire world, so this is fine or something.
