Wait, that's literally Zuckerberg? How was it OK when a Saudi Prince bought into Twitter to make sure Saudi Arabia wouldn't be hit by an Arab Spring[1]?
I don't really like Musk, but is every conversation and topic these days just plain hysteria?

- LudwigNagasena 4y agoYeah, it is not about a whole social network being controlled by a single person. It is about a whole social network being controlled by a single person you disagree with.
- kramerger 4y agoYou don't have to disagree with Elon as a person or politically to feel that an open speech platform controlled by one person who is known to micromanage everyone around him is bad. The tweets about Pelosi should that he is absolutely open to using his power as a prominent figure to control the narrative long outside his area of expertise
- raspberry1337 4y agoWe need to reduce harmful information. Only experts on A may speak about it. Experts are decided by trustable media outlets.

- j3th9n 4y agoYou seem a good example of a victim of propaganda.
- throwaway744678 4y agoI may be mistaken, but I read the comments you're replying to as a sarcastic one.
- j3th9n 4y agoI hope you're right, people like this really exist.
- robertlagrant 4y agoTweeting isn't controlling any narrative. If you ban one side and not the other, and suppress stories you don't like, that's more along the lines you're talking.
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoYou have to only care about it now.
- goodpoint 4y agoThat's a pretty dishonest framing.
- rchaud 4y agoIt's not controlled by a single person, it's controlled by those who coughed up the $44b. Musk is the only one of them who actively desires the spotlight.
- MrDresden 4y agoSome of us have already left the Meta ecosystem years ago after finally waking up to that. Now it is time to do the same for Twitter.
