Seems reasonable. Let's all remember the spirit of '20, everyone: Twitter is a private company, if you don't like it build your own twitter!
What's the problem with critique? I mean we know Musk does not like it in any way, shape, or form, he has made that oh so very clear. But complaining about Twitter is not officially against Twitter rules (yet).
Also, we are not even on Twitter here, are we?

I don't think you're understanding correctly. It doesn't even allow link aggregators such as link tree, on posts or bios.
I didn't talk about those but deep links to Facebook or Instagram posts. If I'm no mistaken those are authorized.

He’s thrown in as a movement conservative. You could tell because what he described as infringements on freedom of speech weren’t just wrong but consistently inaccurate matching the ways they were portrayed in the right-wing media. I’m not sure what galvanized him but have wondered whether it is as simple as the transgender rumors (Grimes, his daughter) being true. Given his wealth it’d be natural for him to be a low…
I'd point out his positions are reactionary, not conservative. He doesn't want to preserve an existing state of affairs, he wants to counter recent progressive movements. The old guard politician from Chesterton's fence [1], the prototypical conservative in my mind, would view someone who wanted to put the fence back up, after the matter has been exhaustively litigated and the fence taken down, as just as if not more…

One could argue that but one would be wrong because cross-posting is clearly allowed if you read the whole policy instead of just the first section.
There's no need to defend Elon here. Clearly what will happen is highly capricious enforcement based on who he personally likes and dislikes.
I do share your prediction that given the ambiguous wording of the cross posting section this will likely involve the feelings of the supreme leader of twitter.

(from another thread) Any attorneys want to weigh in on whether - or when - this becomes an anti-competitive/anti-trust concern, either in the US (FTC) or the EU?

Awesome in stupidity, because there is also not a fake good reason like "there are bad content that we don't control there so we want to protect our users" but just "you should stay here and we forbid any link to a platform we don't own". Also that it is not a rule that is there since ever, like apple could have done, but a sudden change after an already controversial situation. It is awesome to see how Elon is behav…

I have already filed an FTC anti competitive complaint using a Wayback link of the post over coffee this morning. I encourage others to do the same. You don’t need deep pockets, let the executive branch do the work for you. That’s their job. Takes ~5 min. https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ If you’re in Europe: https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust/procedures...
If you want to understand why Elon Musk does anything that he does, you just have to ask yourself: what does he think will make him the most money at this moment? Why did he say he wanted a big free speech platform? Because he thought saying that would make him the most money. Why is he now banning mentioning other platforms? Because he thinks that will make Twitter more money. He doesn't have fundamental beliefs. He…
I mean, if his goal was to make more money with Twitter, is it possible to have done a worse job?
Twitter's creditors must be just foaming at the mouth right now. Their investment is just cratering in value.
Musk should buy the debt himself for 40c on the dollar at this point
You sell your debt at a discount if your chance of collecting goes down, but when the debtor is one of the richest people in the world, your odds of collecting I think are decent.
I think Musk fails to understand what the 'social' in social media stands for, if people can no longer freely link to content elsewhere on the web then that's the end of Twitter. Social media exists by virtue of its inbound and outbound links.
