Anyone who uses Twitter is a fool, no matter who owns the majority of the stock, no matter who makes the day to day decisions.

Musk’s bigger plan for Twitter is to turn it into a “super app” that “acts as an operating system for people’s digital lives.”

He will fail. Unless he gives people an initiative for using it. If people get paid for using it, then maybe.

I sure would love some alternatives to the current monopolies in the cyberspace.

If he has a better product I applaud that.

Side note; I was at Walmart today hoping to get some gluten free Mac and cheese. There were almost more Walmart employees shopping for online customers than actual in-store customers. The trend that happened during Covid has been entrenched and Walmart standing up for it. Maybe good or bad too soon to judge.

I don’t see it that way.

Twitter is a cesspool. What do you think Musk is going to
do to make it worse?

Sorry to post and run, but I’ve got to get back on the road. Hauling over the mountains in Oregon.

No more dangerous than Google, Paypal, Amazon, Facebook. Better to have competition.

If Musk keeps to his free speech vision, much better than the above.

Having a super app for commerce and social media means that the risk of getting kicked off Twitter becomes not just a question of free speech and censorship, but of financial risk to each and every person who relies of Twitter as a complete, one-stop e-commerce app.

So unlike banks closing accounts of conservatives.

Well this guy is hysterical

One does not have to use Twitter in the ways he suggests. Then it won’t matter

Musk is no savior - just the opposite.

Musk is “no savior” for defending freedom of speech for conservatives and President Trump supporters?
And you are?
Don't make me laugh.

“Musk is no savior - just the opposite.”

After what I’ve seen from Twitter and ALL of the other major tech companies, I’m certainly willing to roll the dice with Musk.

Kind of like the 1980 and 2016 elections. Sure there was the candidate that represented the ‘status quo’, but there was also another candidate that promised huge changes. When things get SO BAD in tech as it is now...any change, ANY change, can only make things better, as this conservative is sick of being sent to the Internet Ghettos to try to get truthful news.

Also note that this clown does not present ANY SOLUTIONS to fix the problems as they are today, instead he acts like Jimmy Carter and Skunk Cabbage claiming that their Republican opponent is a War Mongering MONSTER.

Musk already said (in a leaked DM exchange that was posted here a bit ago) what he was aiming to do with Twitter and, apparently, it's scaring the crap out of all the right people (that is, them there elites everybody talks about).

Musk already said he was going to charge companies and organizations to mass-post on Twitter, basically monetizing their need to be known. One of the ideas he had with that was to use his own financial system to handle the transactions, possible including crypto assets like Doge.

That would, of course, position Twitter -- and Musk -- in an environment where things like banks pulling accounts for meanness and non-inclusivity much less of a threat.

Is Musk a "savior"? No one is. But he's as chaotic to establish systems of oppression as President Trump was. In this day and age I'm content to just wait and see what happens.

Malone finds an entirely new field in which to sow the seeds of fear porn. He does know his audience.

Malone doesn’t have any evidence to support any of this, he just made it up.
