I think the non-US impacts of this acquisition haven't gotten enough attention. Musk claims to be for free speech, but is he going to remember to keep up the lawsuits defending it?
- Kye 4y agoI remember a discussion on here trying to get through to someone that the general counsel Elon fired was responsible for this, and the brief denouement of finally "owning the libs" at Twitter would give way to the dread of finding out what it takes to hold any line on freedom of expression. The people he fired had relationships within world governments that helped speed up resolution and make it more favorable to less encumbered tweeting. It's similar to the issue with firing all the ad people: they maintained the relationships big spenders expect, and now there's no one to help convince them to stick around as ads appear next to worsening tweets.
