He's stated multiple times he bought it because of freedom of speech.
Whether or not he suspected NGOs were involved in the censorship on the governments behalf is uncertain, but the goal of a global communication medium that embraced freedom of speech were his main stated goals.
- waltbosz 4y agoIt sounds like you never saw Django. The stated goal of the heros was to buy a slave from his owner to use for brutal boxing matches, but what they really wanted to buy was the freedom of Django's wife. The purchase of the boxing slave was a ruse because there was no way the slaver would have even met with the heros if they just asked to buy the wife on her own. My original comment was just to imagine if Elon Musk was running the same scam as in the movie when he bought Twitter. I'm not saying he did the scam, just that it would be fun if he did. By way of support for my silly imagination: there was a bit of theatrics with the purchase and the law suit. And it's not impossible to imagine that he may have lied about the freedom of speech reason.
- Yizahi 4y agoYeah, that's why he has a Ukrainian "Crisis" category in his algorithm alongside misinformation, antivaxxers, criminals and porn. Amazing freedom of information, except when it is inconvenient for his alt-right friends like Trump, or himself personally. I'm not quite aware about the govenment overreach, I'll check it later, but so far Shitter has been a dumpster fire of misinformation and spam, and Musk is keeping it that way.
- rbanffy 4y ago> He's stated multiple times he bought it because of freedom of speech. Can we trust such a statement at face value? Should we?
- MrOwnPut 4y agoThat's a personal question that I can't answer for you. I do, but I assume you don't. That's fine, carry on.
