Anyone else curious how Musk would handle that Twitter account tweeting about his private jet flights if he owned Twitter? Strange to think that might be the real litmus test of how much he cares about free speech.

He said he'd keep it. I don't even know what this gets mentioned so often. He has barely ever talked about it.

  He also said he was making a Tesla Roadster. And a Tesla Cybertruck.

    So your logical conclusion is to make up a scenario? k.

    Giga Texas literally has the machinery in place to start building Cybertruck. It's happening. Roadster isn't far behind.

  I don't really trust Musk on his word.

  It’s so strange. At first it was intriguing since I had never heard of it before, but now given how often it’s brought up, I suspect some sort of forced Streisand effect deal is at play from all the people who don’t like Elon or are using it as a speculative argument of how he’s ackshually not technically free speech because clearly he spent billions just to take that account down.

Strange to think that might be the real litmus test of how much he cares about free speech. He would probably do nothing. Even under Twitter's currently very vague rules, that Twitter account didn't violate anything so I don't know how it would with even more specific ones he wants them to implement. All that information is already public record (you can lookup any plane like that's flight logs). He was probably just annoyed by it constantly popping up in his feed so he told an assistant to offer his equivalent of a couple dollars to the kid to stop.

Rules don’t matter though. If it’s a private company owned by Musk he can just delete the account. No recourse for the user.
