Does anyone else feel like he's going to start doing petty shit like banning people he doesn't like (e.g. that musk flight tracker account)? He talks a lot about free speech but he has a track record of limiting speech on the platform (blocking multiple people) and off (making the founders of Tesla sign a hush contract).
People act like this is some spiteful thing he's doing in order to just post edgy memes or have a 'private' social media for himself. Twitter, despite being a toxic place the majority of people avoid, brought in over 5 billion dollars last year. If elon removes bots, welcomes non-extremists back on, gets comedians and entertaining accounts back on board and lets people say what they want instead a bot army of shills…
Why would he remove bots? Isn’t having bots post on my behalf covered under my free speech?

But he IS rage bait. He taunts, mocks, and slimes social media constantly. How could his leadership look any better if he treats it like shit personally?

This looks like classic overstep.
If only there was a rational segment of investors ready to make a counterpoint here about anyone saying they are going to fix Twitter ... LOL ...
This is the universe balancing itself. Elon will have to mess up Elon, and my bet (or wishful thinking) is this inflection point right here. He'll be going to Mars to forget this mess.
Popcorn, please!
The level of hero worship on this site is bizarre, not even for someone for their technical acumen, but just because they are a figure in the broader culture. It's really disappointing, actually.

At that point twitter will get problems with many countries and their laws like the Network Enforcement Act in Germany.
It could get a similar reputation like telegram as a place for conspiracy theorists and extremists.
I don't know if this attracts many ad partners.
It's hard to imagine anything good coming from the world's richest man owning one of the world's largest information dissemination systems. Do we really need to concentrate power even more than it already is?

I actually think this will be the demise of Twitter.
No content moderation makes harassment and abuse rampant and the good users will flee and you're left with a cesspool of hate.
