Okay and I can’t seem to care.  I’ll still be using Twitter.

 

FYI he hates Tr**p so I wouldn’t start freaking out that public enemy #1 is coming back.  

Where did he say he hated Trump?

Can someone explain why are people mad about this? Did he claim he has villainous plans for the platform? Just please tell my why with proofs please. 

He's stated several times that he wants to "allow free speech" once he buys Twitter which could likely mean the return of Trump on the platform, more spread of misinformation/fake news. and people will basically be allowed to spread bigotry & hate with no real consequences.

Twitter was always bad but with this it'll become worse.

He really just came out of nowhere a few weeks ago with goal of buying the most relevant social media in the world and actually did it. :rip: 

 

Love it or hate it, can't deny the guy's a legend. This is for the history books.

I wish nothing but the worst for Elon Musk. Truly one of the worst people to ever exist. Hoping for a slow and painful de.... demise of Twitter now. For him.

He does not hate trump ?

 

he has a huge right wing following. Why do you think they’d r praising him today for buying it? They know he’s going to let them spread the Qanon crap all day

He publicly said Tr**p has bad character and doesn’t reflect well on the US, did not vote for him in both elections, and left an advisory board because of Tr**p policies.  The only time he was ever nice to him was when the disgraced former president tweeted something about Tesla being forced to adhere to COVID restrictions during the start of the pandemic and Elon was in his “COVID isn’t that bad!!!” era.  
 

Elon ONLY has right wing followers because he has many libertarian views, but has shown time and time again that he does not actually vote for Republicans.  They stupidly think his vague advocacy for free speech = return of Q Anon and Trump.

The proof that was given was not any indication that world hunger would end, but rather what $6B “could do” because the reality is is that no amount of money will end world hunger and the UN’s claim otherwise was just a dumbass to say. As long as there is capitalist greed from countries, corporations, and dictators, there will always be world hunger. Period.

So now most of our social media is controlled by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and China (TikTok).

Doesn't that sound like freedom to you?

Only the most braindead of posters will cheer on a billionaire flexing their exorbitant wealth and acquiring a PUBLIC SQUARE of discourse. Actual brainworms.

No offense but Twitter is not a public service nor as it ever acted like one. Also, Twitter is not a beacon of discourse. It, like Facebook, is largely harmful to democracy and will probably to continue to be post-privatization.

I think people have rightful concerns given his personality. I view him as a Trump-like lunatic and I know many others do as well. You may disagree with that characterization and that’s fine. We can have a discussion about that and we probably disagree on that front. That’s fine. But, how would you feel if the Trump Organization purchased Twitter? Probably not too well if my memory serves me right regarding your feelings towards Trump. So that’s why people have issue. I think someone like Elon Musk acquiring Twitter and making it a private company is a pretty horrific scenario. Of course, we can only know for sure with time. But with his habit of over-promising and under-delivering, among other personal issues, I don’t think there’s much reason to think Elon Musk is going to improve the issues with Twitter. I think he’s going to exacerbate the issues that exist and make it an even worse experience.


I don’t know if he would let Trump back. 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.
