    Fuck that shit. That's why we are in the position in which we now find ourselves. We did not prosecute traitors after the Civil War and that gave them the impression of power.

    Trump and his traitors need to go to prison.

    If they don't, just hang it up. This country is fucked.

    Jesus, Musk sure wants to lose money these days.

    $44 billion for a platform that is going to tank as soon as he purchases it.

    Twitter’s actually fairly uncensored compared to FB. Certainly I’ve never gotten flagged for posting a Dahmer meme on Twitter, while FB routinely flags them for things like “inciting violence.”

    Less censorship? Have you even been on Twitter? It's a fucking cesspool, not much censorship at all

    Let’s be honest, he just means his preferred presidential candidate gets to come back.

    And Musk himself has a history of firing employees and blacklisting customers that criticize or otherwise offend him. There's no way he won't continue that trend once he owns Twitter. :async:

    Tulsi Gabbard and Justin Amash were banned from Twitter? That’s news to me.

    Gabbard was shadow banned, yes. Why am I not surprised you didn't hear about it?

    You’ve said in the past that you use FB, and message boards like this one are a type of social media.

    Yeah I did use FB for a while because I was running an open mic at a local bar, I'm no longer doing that so I don't use FB anymore.

    Morgan Stanley reportedly had 36 lawyers at the hearing. I think that might have something to do with Musk changing his mind.

    Twitter is stupid, and Elon Musk is more stupid. This has been my TED Talk.
