Yes by taking away peoples ability to tweet you are increasing free speech. Makes sense if you’re an idiot
I'm pretty sure you know who the idiot is.

Yeah, it will be surprising if it ever happens.
I did hear the full interview with Elon about Twitter and his views on making it a free speech platform or something along those lines. His stance is way blown out of proportion. He basically said he thinks permabans are a bit much (aka other punishments are still going to be used) but that he would ban bots and spam accounts. Of course that is all fine and dandy until the platform goes to shit, which is why they banned a lot of these people in the first place.

Twitter sentences should have limits. Permabans = Social media death sentences.
No matter how shredded to shit your butthole is, nobody gives a fuck about your butthole.

Watch Musk turn into a weirdo like Jack Dorsey where he goes on those meditation retreats where you don*t talk for a month or whatever
Jack attending a silent retreat (where you don't engage in work) isn't as weird as Christians who eat the symbolic body and blood of Jesus, and believe they will spend eternity in heaven - the perfect retirement community where nothing bad exists. Except for bingo.

Nah, the old world sucked too, people were just too blinded by Donald Duck they didn't see the real evil going on behind the scenes.
It was a giant Political stunt to hide massive human atrociousness that went mostly unreported and silenced.

Plank 6 of Marx' Communist Manifesto has been described as Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Quote:
In politics, regulatory capture (also agency capture and client politics) is a form of corruption of authority that occurs when a political entity, policymaker, or regulator is co-opted to serve the commercial, ideological, or political interests of a minor constituency, such as a particular geographic area, industry, profession, or ideological group.
When regulatory capture occurs, a special interest is prioritized over the general interests of the public, leading to a net loss for society. The theory of client politics is related to that of rent-seeking and political failure; client politics "occurs when most or all of the benefits of a program go to some single, reasonably small interest (e.g., industry, profession, or locality) but most or all of the costs will be borne by a large number of people (for example, all taxpayers)".

koods said: You don’t get to opt out of paying for shit just because you don’t want to.
So, since it is ultimately a public-private partnership, afterall, boycotts, divestment, and sanctions would be an effective means of resistance?

So many atheistic pop psychologists, lecturing me, here, have sublimated the need for a daddy, family, and house.
Your dysfunctional work family is ultimately an example of controlled chaos, but you and your codependents in coporate welfare are keeping eachother out of trouble.

CNBC is still full on wall-to-wall Trump every day - it's a lot of fun to watch!
Elon might have a strategy many people are unwilling or unable to consider.
To assume we all know his exact strategy would be foolish.
