Will have to see how that works out.

Here's the thing...Musk owns it. outright. he can turn it off tomorrow and absorb the loss and still be a billionaire.


Since all the democrats that have left, have come back, and then some...and nothing has taken its place, those companies (which I support folding) have giant revenue holes now. They will be back.

Things seem to be in a holding pattern at the moment. Whether advertisers on pause will be back depends on which direction Twitter goes. If it becomes a "free-for-all hellscape" it is difficult to imagine that major companies will want their brands associated with it.

Only the far left would consider Elon far right.
Seems that the far left are pushing those in the center that don’t agree with them further and further to the right, when in fact the centralists have not moved at all only the far left has and they keep on moving that line.

They use words like racist racist racist so often that the word looses it meaning.
I guess if you don’t agree with the far left you are a racist.
It’s just a matter of time before Webster’s Dictionary makes this “correction”.

The word "racist" has not lost its meaning.

International corporations through elite unelected oligarchs who control politicians and the world will make sure Twitter fails. Apple just withdrew advertising. Musk says they’re losing 4 million a day. The world has gone fascist. They will crush him, crush free speech and ensure total control and censorship.
China model.

It's not "catering" when conservative ideas win in a meritocracy.
Elon Musk said he would NOT allow every idea an equal opportunity to be heard.

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Perhaps he lied to try to keep advertisers?

should 'hate tweets' not be max deboosted & demonetized, so that twitter can make revenue from them? would that be something you'd approve of?
