He build a right wing following the last couple years. After leftists started attacking him for his wealth growth during the pandemic and his covid measures too. So he started fighting back and right wingers follow anything that questions the left. Elon was initially very liberal and environmentally friendly, that was his initial approach. If he let Trump back he would burn all his previous work with Tesla and his own brand so it would be stupid af. Elon was never very liberal or environmentally friendly. That’s just part of the mythos he’s built around himself to sound like he alone is saving the planet. Also, never did I mention him letting Trump back on. So I’m not sure why you’re talking about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that sound like freedom to you? For Twitter, yes. If you knew who was controlling Twitter before (big banks, malicious special interests groups) then you would see this as a good thing and a fresh start for the platform.

Because of his previous track record? Compare him to Zuckerberg/Facebook and you'll see a major difference in motive and character. Zuckerberg/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp steal your data and sell it for their own gain. They accept dirty money from people, groups, countries that have bad intent. Please watch the documentary on Netflix called The Social Dilemma if you have time, or at least the trailer. 1 minute ago, Letemtalk said: Who then? It's in my post, big banks and malicious interest groups (Vanguard and Blackrock to name a few). These groups control the media and are not friendly towards the average working person.

He isn't doing this because he wants to make the world a better place, he's doing it to control a large section of social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No marginalized person with common sense think there is even such a think as 'free speech' since unfiltered bigoted speech has a silencing effect on those it seeks to dehumanize.
