Why is he bothering making twitter free speech when truth social is coming out? Why not jump on board with that instead? The only way i see musk buying twitter as a positive is if he merges it with DWAC. Otherwise i see this as nothing more than a move to take attention away from truth which is rapidly growing
This is purely informed speculation on my part, but I'm guessing it's due to three primary reasons:
-Truth Social's success is not yet assured. It is a fledgling platform at this point compared to Twatter.
-Twatter is still the most influential social media platform in D.C. and likely the world. This is a sad state of affairs, but it's sadly the truth.
-The real President, President Trump is still a lightning rod when it comes to the media. Ideally this takeover of Twatter puts free speech front and center. I think if Musk merged with DWAC or just attached himself to DWAC, all of the stories would be about how Musk is now a right wing extremist and the free speech message would be lost.
You make some good points. But taking into account your second point i think it would be better for the world in general if musk let twitter crash and burn. I feel like hes putting his wallet ahead of whats right in this case.
You may very well be right about this, Starseed. The problem is the value of the platform. It would be almost impossible for anyone to buy it and then shutter the company. Musk borrowed money to purchase Twatter and that money has to be paid back.
As ugly as Twatter can be, I think it can be a force for good if it becomes a legitimate free speech platform and bots are successfully banned/controlled.
