libertarians are just jaded conservatives. they are usually the same thing.

Yes, it will take several months of finalising legal stuff before Musk takes control. As it stands, today, it's business as usual for Twitter.Seems Repubs celebration of Elon Musk bringing 'free speech' back to Twitter is a bit premature.
I don't know Musk's politics, methinks he's what, a libertarian?
Roger Stone Comes Back to Twitter and Is Immediately Re-Banned
“Well bitches I’m back on Twitter,” Stone bragged on early Thursday morning. It didn’t last long.www.thedailybeast.com
After Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion, veteran GOP operative Roger Stone thought he was safe to return to the platform after being permanently banned in 2017.
But his homecoming didn’t last long, as the longtime ally of ex-president Donald Trump was re-banned within hours of creating his new account.
“Well bitches I’m back on Twitter,” Stone bragged on Telegram early Thursday morning. “I’m anxious to see how strong Elon Musk’s commitment to free speech is.”
After the new account, @RogerStoneUSA, was connected to the self-described “dirty trickster,” he was banned within minutes—again.
“The account referenced was permanently suspended for violations of the Twitter Rules, specifically our ban evasion policy,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Daily Beast.
Personally, I think this is just Twitter's staff operating as status quo, before Musk has stepped in and really changed the policies. I predict he'll let Stone back in a day or two. We shall see...
I think it's complicated. Musk is somewhere in the middle, maybe even slightly liberal....HOWEVER, he's not a born American. So there can be nuances. I think he a bit like Bill Mayer, who thinks the liberals, and thus the Democrats, have abandoned him to go crazy left like AOC. He doesn't believe in the crazy WOKE bullshit, because it simply ain't conventional liberalism. It's a stupid, emotional, crazy, unhinged, unsubstantiated animal all its own. It's sole purpose is to massively disrupt the American culture, to create an opening for a complete other agenda. So he doesn't support that, and still believes in the Constitution and its founding principles.Seems Repubs celebration of Elon Musk bringing 'free speech' back to Twitter is a bit premature.

Funny, I just now made this very point to someone.
What possible difference does not being born American make? Explain; and while you're at it explain what this American 'culture' is in a nation born of immigrants and their descendants from a multitude of nations.I think it's complicated.

He was pardoned by Trump.Roger Stone was rightfully banned by the old guard at Twitter. He expressed pure HATE on the site. Called people the N-word and worse...
No legitimate reason his Twitter account should have been restored.
Nothing to see here.

"OMG Twitter attacks the 1A of a freeberty loving patriot once again. TYRANNY!"
(Actually that's complete bullshit - Twitter isn't the government and can do whatever the hell it pleases on its media platform, whether that's cancel everyone or open it up to full blown racists/assholes like Stone.)
You can label yourself "alien", but you either vote for a conservative or a liberal. That's what defines you IMO. I also agree with your assessment regarding "independent"They parallel, but they’re not identical.
But it’s hard not to notice how many far right wingers there are out there who call themselves “independent”, and yet parrot the right wing line and vote for the most rabid Republican candidates.
He was pardoned by Trump.
Clearly he has been given the green light to be himself.
Can't we embrace that? Freedom of speech, right?

There is also the libertarians that are the 'Free Market' libertarians, which basically means they don't want government supervision and laws. You know, those pesky environmental, OSHA , and product saftety laws, or the monopoly laws, or the stock manipulation so they can pump and dump laws, calling it 'free speech'I heard they were just conservatives who smoked pot
Libertarians can have all of the similar ideas as conservatives. They are all generally for small gov (except for when they are not.) In the end, they generally vote for the R candidate. This is what ultimately matters. Like I said, you can call yourself anything that you want, but what matters is which side you vote for in the end. That gives a true definition of what your ideology is.There is also the libertarians that are the 'Free Market' libertarians, which basically means they don't want government supervision and laws.

I see them every day up here in the deep south of the north.Can you imagine being an adult and liking Roger Stone?
Is Musk actually in charge yet?Seems Repubs celebration of Elon Musk bringing 'free speech' back to Twitter is a bit premature.
