When has he run a social media platform and deplatformed people? I'm not saying he is going to do a great job at Twitter, but why don't we give him a chance.

When has he run a social media platform and deplatformed people? I'm not saying he is going to do a great job at Twitter, but why don't we give him a chance. If the woke mob and the Trump supporters are equally mad after a year he will have done a good job.

That he nuked someones car order because of things they said to me shows he doesn't exactly support freedom of expression.

  So one of the current major owners is Saudi Arabia. How about we use that for goal posts? SA has beheaded people for speaking out against the government. Please explain how Elon has a worse documented history than these current owners.

    > Please explain how Elon has a worse documented history than these current owners. I don't think anyone said anything about the current owners; the only claim was that Elon Musk does not have a documented record of supporting free speech, which no one has seemed to actually challenge, including you.
