Twitter Takeover

Musk has a lot more than you think, and is a lot bigger in this Pantomime than you think.

The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Someone has 44 billion reasons to change his tone.

Musk is already sucking up to advertisers. He wants them to stay on the platform. A few have already left and a few have said if you bring ____ back on, we will drop all ad buys.

Will Twitter advertising become the same as Tucker Carlson's?

This is what I said before if all you anti-globalists out there think about what Musk is trying to do, it is globalism. The EU has laws, Iran has laws, Russia has laws, China has laws, he can't force HIS beliefs on what free speech is to the world. The countries will just ban twitter and then come after Tesla.

That is a good article expanding upon what I have mentioned in the past.

I think Musk is going to have an epiphany and realize that speech is not free and that it has limitations throughout the world. It would not surprise me to see China kick Tesla out if Musk pushes Twitter freedom of speech in China.

This now opens Pandora's box. Musk has fiduciary responsibilities for Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company and now Twitter. Seeing that he doesn't like Delaware court, I would not be surprised to see some TSLA shareholder suits against him.

Now to hear all the free market, rule of law people spin that.

Prepare for the Karen’s to surface.

They want freedom to free of censorship - how can they do that, it isn’t fair. Lol

Gonna be interesting to watch

Humble Pie ala mode from Door Dash?

Does he keep majority ownership more or less than 3 yrs?

I think Musk is going to learn a LOT about the legal aspects of moderation :)

"The deal’s closing removes a cloud of uncertainty that has hung over Twitter’s business, employees and shareholders for much of the year. After initially agreeing to buy the company in April, Musk spent months attempting to get out of the deal, first citing concerns about the number of bots on the platform and later allegations raised by a company whistleblower.

But Musk’s takeover, and the immediate firings of some of its top executives, now raises a host of new questions for the future of the social media platform, and the many corners of society impacted by it. Musk on Thursday also fired CFO Ned Segal and policy head Vijaya Gadde, according to two sources.

Musk has said he plans to rethink Twitter’s content moderation policies in service of a more maximalist approach to “free speech.” The billionaire has also said he disagrees with Twitter’s practice of permanent bans for those who repeatedly violate its rules, raising the possibility that a number of previously banned users could reemerge on the platform."
