The world’s richest man is about to take control of the world’s most influential social media platform — what could go wrong?

necessary to make it happen. This piqued Twitter’s interest, to say the least.

Musk has long been a vocal Twitter critic, and implied in his initial filing to take over the company that it was stifling free speech. “I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,” he wrote. “However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form.

Twitter has suspended or banned several prominent accounts for posting misinformation and hateful content — most notably former President Trump. It’s unclear whether Musk would remove the guardrails and let lies and abuse run rampant on the platform, but it certainly appears that way.

Did you frame it like that when Jeff Bezos acquired the Washington Post? Of course not, you hypocrits

He will be the downfall of the site.

free speech for fascists only

But….it’s not an arm of the government. Free speech on a private site is a non bs issue.

And who's free speech will he restore first? I'm betting the orange turd.

Does this mean the orange 1 will be allowed back on, just in time for the 2024 presidential campaign?

und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn…

Sounds like he’s bringing Trump back to Twit. Oh well.... it was nice while it lasted.

In contrast, I will be considerably less cautious with banning Twitter from my devices.

Serve the societal imperative? Is it just me, or does that not seem credible?

This societal imperative?

All I want on Twitter is my Two Trump Tweets and I can wish you a merry Xmas! Elon Free Trump! ElonMuskBuyTwitter

The 'societal imperative' of Oligarchy?

Grrrr, we live in a capitalist country but anyone with money is the devil, grrrrr. We hate you financially successful people, grrrr.

This is crazy! I won’t be tweeting much once they seal that deal!

Yeah…what could go wrong?

Anyone know another social media platform qe cam use? I'm certainly not staying. No FB either thanks.

Sounds like the plot of a James Bond Movie

The beginning of the end…bookmark this tweet.

This is a bad idea!

TRUMPiCANS 🇺🇸

Cry more!!!

He wants a SM platform buy fucking Truth from the mugs who got involved in that scam. Save a fortune.

Well…was kinda fun while it lasted.

Everyone should watch 2000Mules next week
