Twitter's ban on advertising for anything the remotely deem as related to a weapon is deeply political. Elon Musk should remove it when he takes over.

To be fair even craigslist has restrictions on gun and ammo posts.

That’s what guntrader and gunbroker are for isn’t it?

Having said that....let the flaming begin

All of these comments on Musk and how he will change the Twitter policies, strongly remind me of the timeframe between November 2016 & January 2017, vis-a-vis President-elect Trump! Ever so many, on the LEFT especially, attacked him for Government actions/policies/failures that he had ZERO CONTROL over!

At this present time, Elon Musk, as PRESUMPTIVE purchaser of Twitter, can influence but he HAS NO CONTROL over that corporation! The timeline for his takeover is murky, even with the compliance by the Twitter Board of Directors. The tool that Musk used (as reported) is a ‘Tender Offer’ which invites shareholders to sell their shares for a specified price and within a particular window of time. Once he has a holding 0f 50% +1, he has majority ownership.

Still to be seen is any countermoves from outside party(s). The Biden Administration, via WH Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, has decried the ‘loss’ and there are LEFT Activists who strongly desire anti Musk actions by such regulatory bodies like the SEC and FTC! What can happen there can limit his abilities just with ‘rumors of war’!

Musk said that his decision was not based on economics. So it would be nice of him to ban ALL advertising.

What about pressure cookers? Fertilizer? Diesel? Can I advertise those on there?
