Elon Musk wants to transform Twitter into what it was originally intended to be, a platform for free speech across the globe. Something tells me there will be a lot of people who aren't too keen on the "free speech" idea.

Go man go!

Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter, says company ‘needs to be transformed’​

​

One of the world's richest men delivered a letter to the company with a proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of Twitter for $54.20 each, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission published Thursday.​

​

The letter, delivered Wednesday, amounts to an offer to take Twitter private, a move that would give Musk greater control of the company. The offer values Twitter at more than $40 billion.​

​

"I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy," Musk wrote in a letter to Bret Taylor, chairman of Twitter's board of directors, that was included in the SEC filing.​

Hope it happens. The sooner the MSM is taken down, the better.

Can't wait to see that "platform for free speech around the globe" terms of service. 🤣 Think they will pull a Trump and ban anyone who dares mock the king on that "free speech" platform?

Why would that make liberals shake in their boots?

That was clearly not his announced intention, but that possibility already exists under current management.

A man didn't get to be one of the world's richest by being a dumbass. There is no way he'd be full on free speech and turn Twitter into even more of a shithole.

The left is no longer too keen on free speech... Of haven't you noticed in the last few years?

 

[ttwtt78640]

Why would that make liberals shake in their boots?

Because they fear that a free speech policy may allow ‘conservatives’ to share their opinions (on what has become the public square) as well.

No, the right has confused freedom of speech with speech without consequences.

LMAO... Are you under the impression there is shortage of platforms that "liberals" could jump too in a heartbeat?

Because the honeymoon would be over.

That's bull.......sorry. Conservatives can share their opinions on anything they wish but when it approaches calls for violence and illegal activities that crosses a line of responsible behaviour. I honestly don't think some conservatives even understand what the 1st is all abotu.

 

[CaughtInThe]

I think conservatives here should violate the terms of service just to see what happens.

No, the liberal mainstream media blew that out of the water during Trump, and actually as far back at Bush.

LOL... Big bad Musk would do what exactly? Drive off the revenue stream for $43 billion?

More and more Musk is reminding me of Howard Hughes. Brillant but as time goes on, he's acting weirder and weirder.

He wants to gamble about 1/2 his wealth on F'ing Twitter??? lol What?

There are still consequences for any criminal speech or for the actual speaker (but not the platform, thanks to Section 230) to be held civilly liable.

A sincerely hope Musk is successful changing Twitter, however he gets it done. Twitter, like any private platform, has the right to implement a politically biased form of censorship, but we'd all be better off if it didn't. And FWIW, I think Twitter shareholders would be better off, too. One need only look at Disney's current PR problems to see the dangers of a business not sticking to its knitting and instead engaging in the political culture wars.

He's not planning on using all his own money..

He reminds me more of Tony Stark.

Is that the extent of your diabolical plan?
