Unmentioned is the fact that Twitter is owned mostly by funds. Elon doesn’t need to buy it all but merely obtain the support of some Funds with large Twitter holdings. The funds want to make, not lose money. Elon is the key to making the investments pay.

“he’ll . . . replace Twitter with a better social network.”

Right, just like Trump.

Possible hostile takeover on the way.

Retribution? He buys Twitter outright, restores all politically-canceled accounts, and audits all records for political manipulation indicting Leftists.

Progressive’s are scared of Elon gaining control of Twitter. Details could be interesting.

And it is nice to see very wealthy people enter the fray for freedom. Id would be great to see a few more take some of our other rights and defend them.

Yes. Peter Thiel and Patrick Byrne come to mind. Not that they're not fighting for freedom already--they are--but I think social media censorship is a vital issue and I wish they were more vocal about it.
