I would like to see Elon Musk run twitter. It might become a force for good instead of evil.

[cotton1706]

I doubt all the socialist, anti-capitalists at Twitter will mind that the market-based share price has fallen.

[TakebackGOP]

I’m never going back on it.

[1Old Pro]

I’d love to see what he can do in charge of this company.

[pepsionice]

Price for stock will be driven higher.....pro-Musk/anti-Twitter people will pick up stock prior to the late May stock-holder meeting. I think that event will shock people....with just over 50-percent of stock-holders backing Musk and his direction.

Majority shareholder

And now with the share price down, he can buy more...

“Several Twitter employees tweeted reactions to the announcement, seemingly agitated by the roller coaster surrounding Musk’s company involvement.”

These libtards are so used to riling up leftist antifa mobs with their virtue signaling tweets, that they just can’t control themselves from tweeting smack about their new boss!

[McGavin999]

Parag should be polishing his resume.

[BBQToadRibs2]

Same here. Got an account, found out how toxic the whole thing was, deleted account.

[hardspunned]

I’ll go back as part of Trump’s return only.

[SeeSharp]

They wanted him to sign a contract which in effect would prevent him from interfering with the way they run it.

[Sacajaweau]

In other words, he beat them at their own game. LOL

The American people should not be dependent on the good intentions of one billionaire to preserve our free-speech rights. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and a handful of other corporations have taken control of how Americans communicate and express themselves publicly. Trump's struggles to create his own social media platform should illustrate how hard it is to create any free-speech alternatives.

These corporations cannot be allowed to suppress free speech. They exert monopoly control over how Americans communicate digitally. Their ability to censor legal speech and expression must be removed, or free-speech in the US will be effectively destroyed for decades to come.

no way

way way to many woke employees who hate him

it will never work

“way way to many woke employees who hate him”

Don’t be too sure of that. There may well be significant turnover, but Twitter is still only a small portion of the tech business. There is definitely a pro-America Tech Disporia spread out in the rest of the business (and I personally know of a few) and if they have an opportunity to finally work in a ‘safe space’, they may well migrate to Twitter, or at least consider it.

[Zhang Fei]

I’d be surprised if he went for a controlling interest. Liberals buy cars, too.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I will laugh my zzz off if he mounts a hostile takeover. Then reinstates Trump. 😏

[alternatives?]

You wonder what percentage of the employees agree with the censoring and how many just remain silent.

I would like to see someone acquire a company like Twitter and start censoring the liberals.
