So twitter is going to be for nobody now if it drives the nutjobs away, well done Elon on the race to destroy your company you paid 4 times too much for and ran into the ground.
>During the event, the WSJ reported that Yaccarino praised Musk as being “committed to being accessible to everyone for continual feedback” on Twitter. She also appeared to agree with Musk’s “freedom of speech” take on content moderation, which results in less content moderation overall and is one of the factors contributing to advertiser hesitancy to invest in the platform.
She told him what suited his ego. There’s zero chance an advertising executive known for working for and with big companies like Apple is cool with Musk uplifting and agreeing with Nazis claiming that white supremacists mass shooters are innocent and the real problem is black and trans people.
It’s ridiculous to think the Muskrat had any commitment to free speech. He’s a vindictive ass who’s been more into allowing just the speech he personally agrees with.
Pandering to people who want the freedom to say abhorrent things to as many strangers on the internet as possible will never be a profitable business model. I don’t know why this is such a difficult concept to understand.
Commitment to free speech? He implemented severe restrictions on people condemning him and voices he did not approve of, then let white supremist and bigots roam free.
Likely a net loss with a significant increase in nazis, nothing to be proud of.

What free speech?
There’s no such thing on a private platform.

The *actual* headline of this article is, “Right-wing Twitter worried Musk’s CEO pick could return Twitter to its roots.”

Maybe they’re going to un-suspend journalists from the platform, which would be very damaging for free speech

Oh, you mean the free speech that Elon allows as long as it’s praise for him or for what he personally agrees with?
ReginaldSP says
“Free speech” meaning “no controls on overt racism and terroristic threats”?
