At least the old Twitter had serious discussions and debates about suspensions. Elons Twitter just bans people based on hurt feelings and paranoid delusions

Twitter already bans or shuts down people for their political persuasion. Too bad the Marxists didn't keep control of Twitter...before musk.

Depends on how you look at it. It was his money, but he got it from the people who bought stock in Tesla and his other companies. Tesla alone declined in value 2.5 times as much as he paid for Twitter, but was earlier a high flyer. Also when Musk made his offer for Twitter it was for almost 40% over the stock price valuation of the company on that day, which he justified as a sort of mission which he felt he must do. So far, right wingers are saying mission accomplished, and most others are highly critical. He deserves the time to see how his efforts to shape the company pan out, but it's losing a lot of money besides the public relations flack he's taking. It's all his money now.

That's a lot of $$ to the banks. And some pretty interesting investors.

But I'm sure any day now Elon will tell us the role his largest investor from Saudi Arabia is playing in the company. In the name of transparency.

All I hear is whining from the usual suspects.
First they didn't want to admit that the leftists over at Twitter were abusing their power to arbitrarily silence political opposition - allowing themselves to be used like pawns for the State in the process, and by extension, doing everything in their power to mitigate and destroy the first amendment (when it comes to speech that doesn't suit their political interests, of course), screeching MUH PRIVATE COMPANY for years,
And now, still stuck in a state of shock and denial, all they can do is engage in personal attacks against Elon himself. Since you know, anyone who threatens the left's agenda or fights back against their openly totalitarian tactics is evil and must be tarred and feathered. It's not at all the left itself which has taken things too far and deserves every ounce of criticism that it gets.
It's just amazing to me how many people will jump on the hate train towards *any given target* if the media tells them too. It's really just pathetic and sad. Is there anyone left in this country who thinks for themselves, who has their own actual non-fake set of morals that they developed on their own instead of merely virtue signaling towards whatever is the current thing that those in power directed them to suddenly care about or be angry about?
And now this thread has become:

It's impossible not to focus on Elon personally when he's taken complete control over the company and is making the policies based on his personal whims. I guess I should just blame "The leftists of Twitter" for continuing to censor shit and pretend Elon had nothing to do with it.

Elon musk hopped into a Twitter spaces group with some journalists he banned, left upon being criticized, and Twitter mysteriously shut down Twitter spaces a few minutes later.
Also, the guy that reminded everyone that the police are not treating the "stalking" as a criminal matter got banned.

The guy is delusional. He thinks the poparazzi are trying to assassinate him. Funny none of the other billionaires are freaking out over their private jet's location being posted.

He’s trying to explain away the flight tracker account deletion because he knows he’s a big fat hypocrite. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

He's been holding Tesla back for a long time . I can't imagine how having an erratic unpredictable and unfocused CEO could possibly be beneficial at this point .
