I currently work there and I basically just started.

Kind of hurts to be clowned this hard. But I guess I'll just hang out more on niche interest forums

“"It's just really important that people have the, both the reality and the perception that they are able to speak freely within the bounds of the law," Musk said during a recent TED interview. Musk added he is not a fan of permanent bans, favoring suspensions. The CEO of both Teslaand SpaceX has often used Twitter to crack jokes and promote his business interests, from his companies to cryptocurrencies he's eyeing.”

I always found it scary that the next move for many very rich people is to buy a social network or even a tv channel / newspaper . I see it happening in my country as well . It really just shows to me that ultra rich people not only want money but they also want to control the general public. These two forms of power : money and control of the public opinion can become dangerous . Money is not enough for them at some point , they need a bigger thrill .  

Like Jeff Bezos buying the Washington Post

So it's done. He's the boss of Twitter now, already fired staff and plans to un-ban Trump. Good times ahead.

Seriously, get me the fucking guillotine.

Banning Trump was like one of the best things Twitter has done in a decade, don't bring him back, please.

[bluechemtrails 27,325]

I just realized that twitter is the extended form of twit.

[Mer 62,554]

No but seriously why was Trump banned when the Ayatollah in Iran is allowed to have a platform while killing 100s of protestors daily?

I honestly didn’t know the ayatollah has a Twitter account. I know the former royal family has accounts though, because twitter tried to recommend me to follow them lol.

This is bad for LGBT people  as they will allow more hate speech and label it under ‘free speech’.  

[Dark Angel 203,558]

wait until he tries to purchase lanaboards for $100 and re-brands as "elle musk" 

[the ocean 67,601]

on one hand i wanna say boycott twitter and just stop using the app, but on the other hand if people start boycotting the app it's just gonna turn into a hateful echo chamber like facebook

so it's overall conflicting

[Super Movie 51,865]

Personally, I say go the Tumblr and Yahoo route and make Twitter so unappealing to investors and the rich that they just end up selling it to get rid of it 

Spoiler

Mostly kidding, but seriously: Fuck Elon. He is the epitome of greed and is like a walking dystopia novel

 

[ChaoticLipster 24,734]

The guys straight up like a James Bond Villain that wants to take over the world, with his rockets and controlling the media.  Everything he says I don’t believe at all ‘I care about humanity’  this man cares about himself and showing off his power.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he runs for President one day.
