Singer, who opposed President Trump's campaign in 2016, has since changed his tune, raising the prospect that some of the changes to Twitter could make the platform a friendlier place for pro-Trump users. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Singer donated $24 million to Republican and right-leaning groups in the 2016 election...Trump said in 2017.

The inertia of the workers will be an incredible challenge to overcome. Replacing management will require more than just the top. Overall I suspect it will be just a bit of tweaking accomplished, not big changes. And none soon.

Paul Singer is a vulture capitalist of the worst kind. But sure, it would be great if he could bring about change in social media. Unfortunately, I doubt he can raise the capital to do it.

Isn’t this the RINO who handed millions to LGBT groups just because his son became a fag? Sad!

Isn’t this the guy Tucker exposed on his show for causing a small town to go belly up? He owned a lot of shares in Cabelas and somehow shut it down....I can’t remember the details.

Yes, he’s the guy that killed Cabelas, a profitable company at the time, after gaining controlling interest. It’s what his hedge fund does.

Singer could be aiming to kick Trump off Twitter.

I have 33,000 followers on Twitter. I haven’t gained any in almost three years. They most certainly hate and harass conservatives.

It’ll still be a boring, stupid waste of time. But at least conservatives will consider it balanced. Leftists, of course, will scream bloody murder, just like they do about Rush and FNC. Let me know how it turns out.

“oh please” what?

Dorsey is a danger to America. Hipster slave-rings in the nose are stupid and boring.

Pretend we’re ridiculing about his height, which he cant do anything about...
