The guy speaks the mind and strong advocate of free speech. Democrats are against free speech and trying to bring him down in many made up charges, so he is doing whats in his best interest.
Imagine actually believing this.
Thats exactly called not allowing free speech, rather than countering with facts and logic you just debunked it false and suspecting my belief system lol. Thats the problem with leftists, unable to hear differing pov, but expect everyone else to listen and follow them.
That's not allowing free speech... How exactly? Did that even make sense to you before posting it? The guy has arbitrarily banned people for criticizing him, and all other kinds of frivolous reasons, and has no problem doing such. Which is why it's hilarious you'd believe that. I don't know what made up charges you're talking about, but that sounds equally deluded and not based in any facts at all. You haven't really offered any kind of a real opinion based on anything - you've just made up lies with no basis in reality. You're free to do so, but people are probably going to point out that it's laughable and divorced from reality. 🤷♂️
I like it now and thanks for expanding.
When you come with one liner without any supporting argument that implies suspecting credibility of the person, is malicious.
If you care to explore, news (leftist media also) is filled with news of investigations on him and his companies. Dont want to fill this space with links.
Regarding banning people, I still see a lot less than when it was with Jack and Parag who was working directly with Govt agencies to stop people putting their differing pov. Remember release of Twitter files showing twitter colluding with govt agencies??
I dont know which reality you are talking about, I hope its not alternate reality.
Investigations are not charges, much less fake charges. And I have no idea what you mean by "colluding with government agencies". Twitter was warned of Russian election interference, and they made their own choices based on that information. Twitter, just like any other company, has to comply with lawful requests for information. And just like other companies, they took advantage of recuperating the costs associated with fulfilling these obligations. None of that really counts as colluding with the government. And neither of those people you mentioned were just arbitrarily banning people that they didn't like, or those who published news articles that cast them in an unfavorable light.
You're allowed your free speech and we are allowed to laugh at what you say. Please, go ahead, keep spewing bullshit. I need a good laugh.
In case anyone missed it last year or doesn’t remember, this story is a year old. I’ll bet he’ll do/say something similar next year but just saying.
The funny part is that shortly before that he was saying that Twitter needed to be politically neutral, so it's just comically hypercritical.
But yeah, that was the first thing that came to my mind also. That this wasn't anything new.

I see where are you coming from. If you believe 1+1=3, you will laugh at people saying it 2. You are not even arguable, probably your brain is unable to unlearn, learn or argue. If you would have made any point I am open to change my mind. We are not the same bro, laugh as much as you want on your inability to comprehend.
They are not against it, nor is Musk actually for it. He does plenty to censor people who do not agree with his own views, and mock him personally.
He does plenty of "traffic shaping" with those algorihtims, to bump up his favoured few on the "suggested for you" list and actively suppress hashtags associated with opposite political views. Why do you think his first moves when he took over involved firing so many of the humans who monitor things like actual hate speech? Now instead there are AI "red flag" systems that protect the bots and rage farms from his own political faction; they can openly call for people to murder their political opponents and that's fine, but if you tell one of them to "fuck off and die", you will be auto-flagged as "violent speech" and end up in the twitter penalty box.
Those "community notes" are a scam too - some of the corrections are outright falsehoods; it totally depends on who is writing them and whether they are a VIP paid subscriber or not.
I am not sure, how do you have info on internal algorithm of twitter, I thought its considered trade secret. I have no idea about it and need to search if its eventually true.
On firing employees, I can answer that easily why he did that. He was forced to buy twitter for 44B. Twitter was in huge losses already and the highest cost for any business is its human resource. So first step was to reduce the cost by replacing it with AI/automations and make it profitable. So that step wasnt a surprise and no brainer for any businessman.
Well with my experience people are able to put their contradicring view without being banned, I see them often. I agree that; for any call for murder etc should also be banned.
People talk about it, yes, online but how is that different than the thing itself? You do not have to outright ban everything, just bias it a little to have an effect.
People are criticising all the little biases and tricks of the "mainstream media" news, and they are not wrong to point out that behind the scenes bias exists. Yet when it comes to Twitter, Facebook, Google and their way of biasing the flow of information, many media critics put blinders on. "Elon would never do that to us, would he ?!"
The problem is not people believing that the media is biased; the problem comes with people believing that their own team is somehow above using manipulation too - especially when the team identity itself is the product of manipulation, and makes its wealth by engaging in it.
"Everyone who is on here should vote the way the owner (me) tells them to". What kind of chump actually just shuts off their own judgement to follow along with that? The same ones who think this cult of personality is not a cult because it has so much money behind it.

Investigation is correct word, thats right, but why do you think Elon is being investigated at all fronts by feds, Do you think Microsoft, blackrock are saints?
Hillary Clinton came up with conspiracy and everyone fell in line. Ultimately it was proven false, isnt it? Did you hear any such action about chinese interference. It was not just about elections but vaccine and covid related views were blocked, accounts suspended, and twitter did that with govt. Total 7.9 million users were suspended just in year 2019.
I view Elon as imperfect human with his own weaknesses, but I believe, he is not evil like Soros or Gates, working with govt to silence people's voice.
Let's not even touch on the fact you are spewing conspiracies with NO proof, you are also praising Musk who distributes HATE at every opportunity. His Antisemitic posts are going to get someone killed. There is a fine line between Genius and Insanity and he not only crossed the line to insanity, but erased all traces of the line.

If after watching the shenanigans by the Republicans in Congress you can still praise them, you should move to the states and experience what the FAR-Right has done to personal freedoms. It is SCARY.
Let's not get started on the biggest ASSHOLE in politics Trump. If he becomes president the US, Canada and the World will pay dearly. We can only hold out hope he chokes on a chicken bone, because being in jail will not vacate the Presidency. He can be in jail and still be President!

Musk, Bezos, Gates, Zuckerbeg, Murdoch, Koch Bros, Harlan Crow, Soros, Berlusconi, etc. - there's no "white hat oligarchs versus black hat oligarchs" in this. They are all using their wealth to impose their views upon the world, by enacting their own private control of information, and manipulating those who rely on it.
