Elon Musk Bought Twitter

[Ilikewaterkusa]

Honestly why is this even a big deal? Any billionaire could have bought the site, and is really only big because Musk is a big public celebrity.

Most people in my college don't even know who Warren Buffet is, and I could guarantee they wouldn't bat an eye if he or some else decided to buy the site.

Either way still not going to use that dumpster fire, Discord and Scribble Hub are the closest things I have have to 'proper social media', and I would rather deal with a bunch of close knit people in a small community than the Internet's equivalent of a short bus mashed together with a art display and wrestling ring.

Pretty sure it would still be a big deal if some unknown billionaire person bought it

Honestly don’t think anything will change. ’Free speech’ in my opinion is just a cover. Musk likely bought it for access to user data which is as valuable as things can be on the internet. With Facebook dying Twitter is one of the largest data farms and will largely benefit his other business.

Unlikely. Musk is a pretty staunch libertarian with a lot of extra money, so buying twitter to enforce free speech makes sense for that reason. There are a lot of better ways to get user data than paying 44 billion dollars lol, honestly that argument is pretty retarded imo.

Musk is a different kind of billionaire, one of the few people the system regularly targets.

If it makes you any happier, I also dunno who Warren Buffet is~

I will bookmark this reply and come back 4 months down the line and see what's changed with Twitter's climate and depending on the results, you'd either be a prophet or a clown.

Elon is Asserting Dominance

Or who George Soros is


Reading this thread has honestly made my day seeing just how many of us all have seen though the manipulative borderline mind control BS that is Twitter

Also my opinion is that you can't have free speech unless you allow people to say the things you don't want to hear the mean things the insulting things the racist things the sexiest things freedom of speech is not about allowing people to say things that you like it's about allowing people to say things that you don't like so if Elon is all about free speech and making Twitter a free speech battleground I am all for it otherwise destroy that social engineering aka mind control website

Elon Musk just bought a lot of Twitter out for 44 Billion and will be turning it into a private company. What do you think will come out of this?

As long as all the annoying bots are removed. I'd guess 90% of twitter "users" are bots be it spam or advertising agencies.

Twitter just kept them there to show shareholders that their user count is increasing.

We're writers: we're trained to see through manipulative, coercive BS. We can spot irony a mile away, can smell hypocrisy, and cringe at blatant virtue signalling. I hear that new users are being banned, let back on with apologies and excuses, and banned again, just because some SJW got a bee in their bonnet about the doors to their echo chamber being blown off.

I'd rather people were allowed to say what they really think. No sense in forcing your enemy underground, after all. You can't see what they're up to.

I hope Elon changes Twatter for the better. Why the hell are they so riled?? Afraid of a challenge to their mindsets? (I say mindsets rather than opinions: mindsets are taught, the result of conditioning. Opinions are formed of free thought coupled with experience. One can change with new knowledge and healthy debate - the other digs in).

Should be though. People of certain ideological dispositions aren’t really like such.

Do you mean like the sex bots? And like what do these bots do to annoy?

Here's hoping that Elon onii-chan will blast all the SJWs there into space. Let them social justice each other in enclosed space.

Based.

Especially if said billionaire vows to end the platform's censorship.

I wanted to say say something funny here, but nothing I could come up with would ever live up to this.
It seems that this is what you have professionals for. @BenJepheneT, please save me

Censorship isn’t exactly a problem it’s just that the wrong people are being censored. While people like pedos and isis guys are going free

I can't tell if it's real or a shitpost.

 

[SternenklarenRitter]

I skeptical that anything noticeable will happen for users, but I feel bad for the employees. Mr. Musk seems like a rather imperious boss. If nothing else, the former shareholders are happy because he bought twitter for well over its market price.

 

[AnonUnlimited]

Honestly I’m surprised by the responses here. I thought I’d have to step on eggshells over topics.

glad to see it. ?

 

[Wohendum]

I think that Twitter could have a turn for the better.

It's already the worst platform imaginable. The Teletubbies buying it would be an improvement.

Here's hoping that Elon onii-chan will blast all the SJWs there into space. Let them social justice each other in enclosed space.

Nah, Leftists naturally exude hot air. It's what allows them to bullshit so frequently and still somehow manage to take themselves seriously. They would create natural air bubbles around them in space, thus they would be able to breathe and survive even in the vacuum of space.

Hopefully he improves it or destroys it.

I'm hoping for destruction, though I know thats unrealistic. Too much potential capital involved in potentially fixing/healing the damage left-wingers have done to it. Still, while I'm optimistic, I'm not going all in and betting Elon will save it(or anything really). I just reckon if anyone can or will, he's one of the more likely to do so.

 

[NotaNuffian]

I had put it for a long while, but I wish that Elon would rescind the stupid rule of making an account to look at the R18 stuff.

Made an account, now NASA keeps on spam me mail. I want cartoon porn, not how the stars look like.

 

[EternalSunset0]

I don't really care much.

I don't use the platform much to post or write stuff, anyway. As long as the NSFW anime stuff stays, I'm down.

 

[gaylolis]

i'm just wondering who will buy elon musk next

 

[Ai-chan]

Breaking back news!

Elon Musk fired the entire board member of twitter!
