    Twitter don't have the ability to stop anyone's freedom of speech not before not now! They can not silence no one,! Anyone who thinks they can is not very bright.

    Well that didn't take long. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Free speech as long as you can get past a content moderation council.

    So you can buy a blue check mark. Some sort of bizzaro social media status symbol.

    Like people who buy themselves into various distinction magazines. So dumb.

    And if they don't pony up, no check mark. So in essence, you can buy your check mark. It's stupid. The point of the check mark is that it verifies the authenticity of someone who is known. There's some benefit in that. Without it, makes it easier for more fakes and more spam.

    It will end up basically anyone who is willing to pony up will get/keep the check mark. Just really stupid. Might as well eliminate it.

    $38 and change.

    Musk made a post asking an open question if the TWTR algorithm should be public. That was a Thursday. 4 days later he made his offer.

    He did the same thing with the SolarCity deal. He's telegraphed multiple TSLA events. He doesn't throw false stuff around.

    Years ago I shorted TSLA and learned a lot about betting against Musk....the hard way.

    Most serial entrepreneurs have hits & misses like Cohen at GameStop. Elon doesn't miss often if ever.

    Twitter is already a platform for misinformation.

    Musk will make it worse in the name of "free speech" even if he doesn't understand the concept.

    You don't have to be a genius to figure out what "free speech" means.

    Twiiter decided to be aligned with woke dems and dems loved it. Now you fuggers are in morning that opposing views can be shared. You'll get over it eventually.

    You guys do know that there is no way in the world a company like twitter could possibly violate "free speech" in America.

    And thus, there is no way twitter can have any effect on free speech in America, no matter what Elon Musk does.

    Because free speech is defined in the constitution and unless you are changing the definition it doesn't apply to twitter.

    You guys do know that, right?

    Maybe not, but there sure are a lot of people out there that think a Twitter ban is a violation of their 1st ammendment right to free speech.

    Is that what you think, Roy?

    There is no legal free speech guaranteed on private platforms such as Twitter.

    It will be Elon's version of free speech which apparently will allow political diversity unlike the previous management.

    Yeah, maybe it’s best to stop using “versions of free speech“ and talk about Elon’s moderation or something.

    People throw around “free speech” when they don’t know what it means.

    It’s a constitutional thing and to make it anything else implies a lack of understanding that it’s a constitutional thing. Of course, there are some networks and bad actors that want to muddy those waters and take advantage of the ignorance of the people.
