STOP WITH THE POLITICS IT'S NOT LIKE IT IS SOME NEW RULE HERE>
Free speech does not apply to twitter as a private business You also agree to rules when joining twitter and if you do not abide by the rules there will be consequences. If you do not like the business model or rules on twitter Find another business/social app that you agree with and use that one.
Or if you are an enterprising person with the means to start a new app that caters to your wishes. And I would wager money that as that app grows in popularity you will find that it start instituting it's own rules and guidelines or it will fail due to the trolls.
People need to educate themselves on free speech.
The beauty of a human is that we have a thinking brain. Can we all not determine for ourselves what is real and what is fake or are we just admitting that most humans are just too stupid to make this determination?
Clearly there are a great many people just that stupid.
Agreed...they don't put those crazy warnings or directions on products for no reason.
As outlandish as some of those can be, it is because some idiot tried doing it.
I think the reality is that this is not about free speech or moral or opinionated issues. I am sure Elon values those things, but I suspect those are more of a bonus.Sure, now that Musk has arranged for funding shareholders are smelling the money. If he ups his offer, and I know he said his offer was final, he probably seals the deal pretty quickly.

It sounds like they might accept it, but have wording in there to accept a higher bid if one is offered before the purchase actually goes through. I think that means someone in there is trying to raise capital to beat that bid.
Now that he Elon is buying Twitter, will it be a private company? If so, can he ever take the company public again? Or is this just a case of some billionaires buy sports teams as hobby and Elon wants a media company as a hobby? I believe Mark Zuckerberg owns a newspaper?
