Trump has a pretty sensible foundation laid out for combating censorship and free speech issues. How funny would it be if musk appointed one of trumps guys or even Trump himself as the new Twitter ceo

kinda get the feeling it's prob twitter's own investors telling Elon to step down.

but being the owner and all, I dunno how much difference a new head will be when Elon alone gets to hand pick them.

but shit, at this point, the only way I could have respect for that dood is if he came out and said something like, "this whole twitter purchase all along has been a performance art piece entitled 'Insecurity.'"

Elon has said in the past he has no desire to be ceo or any company. He has too many companies. Theres just not enough time in the day

What "investors" are those? It's not publicly traded anymore.

He doesn't need (or want?) investors.

You guys are fucking delusional. Elon has been relevant for a long time. He bought Twitter because we had a serious problem. Hes exposed it, the left is still in denial

Government agencies are using big tech platforms to control what you are allowed to say, and in turn what you are allowed to hear, think, and completely influence the world around you. They think the own you. Anyone with a brain should be really alarmed by that

But thats the big problem with our country. So many people don't even want to think for themselves. Or work for themselves. They just want to be told what to think, what to do, and expect everything to be given to them

Interesting.

Makes me wonder why would he go through the trouble of delisting from NYSE then? I guess so he can control/know who his shareholders are?
