I would too. I’d also be surprised to see much change in moderation. Where would the money be in suddenly letting everyone Tweet whatever they want? And there’s the risk of liability and lawsuits there too.
Musk may not be a genius, but he’s also not an idiot. This may well be just another investment as much as anything.
And people who chipped in to help him buy Twitter are…
I’ve had a number of conversations with people who cite those reasons for liking Trump.
When you point out the gaps in these ideas. That he’s provably bad at business, not all that rich, and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. They instantly pivot on them. It comes out pretty quickly that they like that he lies. They like that he’s mean to people. They like that he’s racist.
The other end of it is that the average Trump voters was a lot wealthier than the average American. And actually wealthier than previous GOP demographics.
It’s not “regular” people, or “working class” Americans propping this douche up. It’s just that we’re gonna take the sort of people who own multiple big rigs, and have enough leeway to take months off work to pull a convoy “working class”. Then draw conclusions from that instead of what’s actually going on.
Yep, because they believe deep down all white people think and feel the way they do.
Right, because they think “regular guys” are always that bigoted and racist. They are really just telling on themselves…
The only reason I even had a twitter account was to clear the age gating on some of the content; When that content leaves, so shall I. (I’ve posted… all of six times on the thing, and none of those posts/tweets were world-stoppers.)
We’ll be the judge of that. [snicker]
Can’t really depend on trumps word, either.
I rarely use my Twitter account. I’ll be deactivating it now.
Has the money actually changed hands?
Have the stock shares actually changed hands?
This sounds like pseudo-news about something that’s unlikely to actually happen 
The author of the article seems to have very little understanding of what taking the company private means in regards to the SEC regulating Elon’s tweets. There is no effect at all. They can still say he is not allowed to manipulate stock prices on his public companies. Twitter being private or public has no effect on the SEC’s ability to regulated Elon’s highly regulatable financial speech about public companies. Where do they find these writers?
Why is it that every time I see an Eat The Rich bumper sticker I know I’ll be disappointed again.

He’s also going to get in trouble for not filing the paper work when he went past 5% so he got the next 4.2% on the cheap as the market didn’t know something was happening.
