RIP Twitter

[butchna]

There has been no need for Silicon Valley liberals to replicate Twitter. They already had what they wanted. You are underestimating liberal engineers on this one.

And you’re overestimating the market for an alternative platform. Are “liberal engineers” a collective? This is more “If Bush/Trump wins, I’m moving to Canada!”

seems complete. I heard a lot of folks are headed over to tumblr, and some headed to reddit. Most are just talk. All the kids are using private text for a good reason of course. I have noticed it's much more difficult to find accurate information, but it is still on twitter for now...

Elon making Twitter great again!

Scream it Howard!

I dont think its his intent at all to get rid of liberals - or for that matter, to get rid of ANYONE. The whole platform is better when EVERYONE has a voice. I don't know if progressives can stand not being in a sheltered environment though where they can no longer cancel things they dont like hearing.

Musk wants Twitter to be the global town square, available to EVERYONE. (which of course, gives it the largest audience as well).

Off topic, but isn't this a form of "cancel culture", which conservatives insist is wrong?

More Republican leaders try to ban books on race, LGBTQ issues

Isn't this also promoting a "sheltered environment".

A person who is this ruled by his emotions shouldn’t be on Twitter at all, much less responsable for terms and conditions. Does he think Elon Musk is going to move into the office next to his?

I was wrong. I own it.

Be careful what you wish for. That would not be a positive development for such a large investment (even by the standards of someone as wealthy as Elon Musk). I doubt that is something that Musk wants to happen.

People who frequent Twitter do so, at least in part, because they prefer having a spirited debate over having an echo chamber (engaging in dialogue, only with people who always agree with you, can quickly become boring).

Libs aren't leaving twitter. There's to much free porn advertisement.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Yeah ... that's better.

Making a hard right turn with Twitter will come with peril. Musk needs to make it clear that liberal members are still welcome on the platform.

hard right turn? Seriously? And what exactly needs 'to be made clear'? If you aren't banned on a public forum, you are welcomed. Or is that particular piece of logic too difficult for the left to grasp? Do they need to be coddled and told "It's OK... you can still post here"?

 

[StarRaider]

Regardless of who feels threatened, I don't buy that it's going to happen, and apparently neither does Wall Street.

You need to understand that a free and open discussion is considered right wing by most Democrats.

 

[butchna]

So... he should be hated by the black community for pretending to be something he might not be?

 

[butchna]

Elon be all…

He's often heckled.

I actually don't have a clue about Elon's politics (other than the libtards are freaking out today).... which is fine with me.

He’s as much a right winger as Bill Maher.

This whole thing has been really entertaining this far. Imagine having enough FU money to be able to take Twitter for yourself out of spite.

For those who believe Elon Musk to be some kind of white knight…I’d urge you to be cautious. But damn I never thought I’d see something as bold as this play out.

I love the meltdown going on. I've never seen so many people angry about other people being allowed to post what they want online. We live in a strange reality.

Where exactly is this meltdown happening?

 

[DC_Vol]

You know the left is going to play the race card or the Russia card!

Get some new material.

For what it's worth, Tesla has quite a record of being sued by black employees for racial discrimination. It's definitely more than most companies.
