Exactly. You didn't hear it from Trump. Why would Trump tell LBC or Times radio and not tell anyone else?

I don't agree. Our government can't even cover up a party they had. What chance have they got against Elon's money?

If it was any government it would be the US government, not the UK government. $40 billion is chump-change to the US if it was to cover up anything significant... and they wouldn't even have to fork out that much to pay off enough Twitter shareholders to stop the purchase.

Also just to point out the government wealth and personal wealth are very different things; as rich as Elon is... the UK spent 2x his entire fortune on Covid. . About 50% of Elon's entire net worth was spent on Furlough alone.

It's actually a significant chunk of his net worth (I mean... it will make no difference at all to him because we're talking about such vast sums of money... but in terms of percentage) which does make me wonder why acquiring Twitter is so important to him. If it had been "a couple of billion" I'd just put it down to him doing it on a whim... but $40 billion is a lot even for Musky.

i think twitter made some bad decisions without working through justifications and implications and left itself open to accusations of unfairness. Its quite possible that it was influenced by politics, but at the end of the day, that chapter is closing and a new one begins
Musk could easily drive it into the ground and the platform could be dead within a year |

All twitter had to do was leave people alone. But the addiction of being in a powerful position took over and they couldn't help themselves. Tyrants who got it into their heads that they should control what is and isn't acceptable.

Madonna told us that she "had seriiously considered blowing up the Whitehouse"
Don't even think she was arrested for inciting terrorism. She was fine to stay on twitter while people like Milo was silenced for critiquing an acting performance in Ghostbusters. Something had to change, let's hope it has with Elon. |

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

Because for some reason Twitter likes Zoophiles on their platform over people with controversial opinions which is just warped imo. If Elon Musk can fix that problem at least that'll be a good thing.

Musk will just be another Zuckerberg , he'll let all sorts of offensive and inappropriate stuff slip through with ZERO monitoring .
I wonder if people on Twitter will also get their accounts HACKED, like what happens on FACEBOOK all the time with no solution to solve the problem. |

the value of his tesla shares has dropped significantly, so my guess is that he wants to negotiate the sale price down to compensate or pull out completely

Well that's fine, being offended is better than being silenced as long as they're not actively calling for violence, it doesn't matter what words someone types on a screen. Last edited by Oliver_W; 14-05-2022 at 09:45 AM. |
