“I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means - Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 25, 2022”

That’s an excellent pre-emptive strike against the tyrannical bastards.

His only real problem is finding software engineers who want to work for him.
The radicalization of Silicon Valley began 30 years ago and there were some truly crazy people working there even then.
Its gotten much worse since Obama.

If it dies it would be the best thing to happen to it.

Social media with its anonymity attracts mostly the lowest of life.

There is one big problem that the new owners of Twitter will face. They are using Cloud service databases for their operations. This means they are vulnerable to being shut down externally. Especially if they are using Amazon Web Services databases like Redshift. I believe the next step will be a shutdown of Twitter by AWS or others.

"His only real problem is finding software engineers who want to work for him."

If Elon Musk first fires Twitter's HR department and then insists that only American citizens are to be hired he will have no problem finding millions of excellent software engineers willing to work for Twitter.

MUSK SMEAR ? :

A Cali billionaire—Dan O’Dowd—is running for California senate on the platform of smearing Musk’s self driving software. The high tech vet is running TV ads in Arizona, which makes little sense unless it’s a national smear, perhaps related to Twitter.

O’Dowd is a rich Californian, which makes him a likely anti-Trumper, imho.

Anyone else seen these videos which demonstrate Tesla auto driving software behaving badly, which may or may not be true and a conversation for another day.

Facebook admitted that they hit user peak a few months ago. Now it’s just attrition. 🥳

Just heard on the radio that Musk ownership is now a done deal.

Musk has his own agenda, I am pretty sure it does not align with yours

I reactivated my 2 year dormant account today, just to see how things are going.
