I remember those threads, the confidence with which people were claiming 'Musk is just lying and will never ever go for it". Just tells you most people are susceptible to emotions even if they are otherwise rational. In this case, visceral contempt for Musk being against censorship.
- theonething 4y agoYep, even here on HN. I hope Musk turns Twitter around and makes it a great platform.

This is an emotional opinion without the support of facts. Are you sure you are being rational? Very nice glass house you have there.
- kabes 4y agoThat's not how I recall it. In my experience, the general opinion here was that Musk indeed wanted to get out of the deal but that he was legally going to have to go with it. Which is what has happened.
