Elon Musk's Ongoing Bid to Buy Twitter

Recommended Posts

What do we all think?

 

In all honesty, I think Twitter and virtually all other forms of social media are utter garbage. I don't use social media besides using messaging features but I really prefer just to use text. I can see Elon bringing some positive change to Twitter as suggested by his motives to make Twitter more free speech friendly. Twitter could become a legitimate rival to Facebook (instagram) if under the appropriate hands. I'm not really sure even Musk could attempt to fix Twitter's issues naturally. 

 

I thought this would be an interesting topic as this site had gone under an ownership change before.

its very weird, boring, and rather alarming that all conservatives think a billionaire buying a website is how "free speech" will re-couperate on twitter. They are now using the "its a private business" tangent liberals have used before against them now. As usual, American Nationalists do not know how to interpret an amendment.  A private business can modify the line of speech. The first amendment does NOT cover ALL speech, and it SPECIFCALLY does not protect you from the consequences of your speech.

 

Free speech for conservatives [at this point it is easier to group them all, I'm over the whole "not all of them" when it comes to a group of people in ideology] is calling gays f^gss and POC animals. All they want is the freedom to tweet those things out without being banned. All while they make it seem that they're being ousted from twitter because they are simply conservative

yeah i don't think a lot of people realize that it only protects the government censoring your speech and that's only talking about the speech actually covered in the amendment itself

 

hate speech is illegal - it's straight up illegal it's not a loophole it's specifically stated in the constitution

 

it's honestly quite hilarious how most of the openly "patriotic" people in the US are actually some of the most treasonous

Elon Musk's family got rich off apartheid and conflict (blood) stones (emeralds). FUCK HIM.

 

There's plenty of reasons to criticize Elon Musk for things he's actually responsible for and not because he was born into a certain family.

no clue i couldn't care less about the man to find out, just pointing out that "his family got rich off of" x, y, z is a very weak argument. If HE got rich off of that, then there's something to criticize.

Apartheid and all who have benefitted from it - and Elon Musk has benefitted from it, as he came up as a moneyed brat - are evil. 

 

He inherited wealth borne of apartheid.
