Earlier he announced the creation of a new council to moderate posts.

He also tweeted that "anyone suspended for minor & dubious reasons" would be "freed from Twitter jail".

"Comedy is now legal on Twitter," he said.

"There will be no changes" is not at all the same thing as "we have not yet made any changes".

He didn't let me wait long. What have I written just two days ago?


I think he will wreak considerable havoc in the political landscape, and want to establish fake news as equal to evidence, so that the concept of an ultimate truth of last resort - the definition of "truth" - is completely destroyed. (...) Anyone who has read Musk's remarks on the foreign policy plan for Ukraine can easily calculate that only dangerous things can result from this low intellectual level.

Garbage X has started. Have a nice disaster flight, the trip will be a nightmare.

Unlimited freedom of speech on social media leads to polarization, to the spread of disinformation and the undermining of democracy, to a huge increase in hatred as well, and an upsurge in all kinds of racism. This is because of the nature of social media, because of their revenue model enshrined in their algorithms. Social media float on advertisements and thus want attention, as much and for as long as possible, from as many people as possible. The most attention attracts expressions that generate hate and outrage. Thus, any algorithm that wants to generate as much attention as possible will favor such polarizing, promoting and hateful posts.

In my opinion an owner of meeting place like twitter, Facebook or a forum should be 110% political neutral.

You left off "in a perfect world". Not even an artificial intelligence is 100% political neutral.

You could be right I in my opinion have this standpoint being a owner of a place where people with different political, religious and layer of society meets it's important to keep a neutral standpoint.

That's how I see it.

And if you doubt then I can tell you it is possible-I have for a short time-Around 3 month been a owner of a Danish Forum(that's why I want to create a new one again)I toke over a complete forum. With members and all that.
Before this I have always been to the right on the political spectrum-When I toke over I became neutral-100 %.

Goodbye Twitter. Musk takes on Apple and I think he's going to lose badly because he'll also have to take on Google.

It looks to me like Twitter and Truth will end up merging as Musk starts his own phone company and app store. Twuth?

Fine with me, I'd be happy to stop funding people who hate me.

That would be an unbelievably stupid mistake on their part.

Twitter, Truth and Apple blue anon conspiracy theories starting now? Does Blue Anon ever end?

I suppose there isn’t that much of a need to advertise if you have weak demand for a new product line or DON’T have a product to sell because Apple workers in its China based Apple factory’s are violently rioting over mandate nazi lockdowns, no time off, prison like conditions and slave wages. All of which (not including weak demand) has currently contributed to major supply disruptions of close to 6 million iPhone products.

Also if you read the business papers instead of your blue anon conspiracy theory websites. You’ll find Apple isn’t the only company cutting back on advertising as well as laying off employees. Of course you can blame Musk thinking there is some kind of hidden conspiracy if you want, but you’re just embarrassing yourself again if you do.

What are you talking about? My comments were in regard to Elon complaining about Apple possibly taking Twitter out of it's store over Twitter content moderation. Twitter advertisers do have to consider how their products are linked in the user feeds regardless of how you would portray it.

EDIT: Think of Wheaties boxes with famous pedophiles on them. I used pedophiles because the MAGHATS are obsessed with them.
