Honestly, all of that stuff is so far above my understanding that hey, maybe Elon is making a smart move if he lets it die, I dunno!
For folks who love Elon I will say this — he’s miles above Zuck and Bezos when it comes to billionaires.

When you think of it this place is a microcosm of Twitter. The mods get a lot of shit but they keep the place running pretty smoothly. But not without controversy. But the rules are much simpler. It’s easier to just say sports and politics are treated separately, and the politics side can largely go unfiltered. The forum is built for the users not to turn a profit. And even within sports we tend to agree on the majority of things with the commonality of loving the chiefs.
I don’t envy the job of running Twitter which is why you can tell Dorsey tried like hell for years to move away from it. Imagine cp on a global scale. Every day finding and nuking trolls and bots. Having a wide range of opposing opinions and trying to keep the space enjoyable. All while appeasing advertisers. Now imagine this on a global scale where other countries will regulate the hell out of hate speech and others who will murder or imprison people over speech. And that is an insight into what musk inherited and I don’t think he even realized what he got himself into. It’s more a wonder that Twitter has survived as long as it has.
