This is my take and is based on how cunning and evil the deep state is. TWITTER is not and NEVER will be free speech. The truth is Twitter is in trouble. They have lost a TON of customers and the powers that be see the writing on the wall with TRUTHSOCIAL opening up. (The timing of this is NOT a coincidence!). There are TWO current things they are terrified of: More masses leaving Twitter and TRUMP starting to communicate with the masses. They want to retain control. They want to have Trump on their platform so they can decide who sees his posts. They want to spread the upcoming FAKE NEWS on every news outlet that twitter is now "free speech" so there is no longer the need to go over to TRUTHSOCIAL with all those "radical right wing nutjobs." They are just using ELON to be the fake savior of FREE SPEECH. When all he will be doing is playing into their hands so they can try somehow to still control the voices in the public square. I am just saying THIS is what I think is really going on. But do NOT loose heart. They will fail! NCSWIC!!!! #TRUTHSOCIAL #DWAC

I can't believe I even have to say this, but the preferred response from us is so simple.
Forget Musk for a moment, even though I know that's difficult for most here to do. In my mind this is a great move for us. We hate Twitter. At the very least, this cleanses the frauds off that site.
When Musk takes over, we treat the "new Twitter" like Voat. True free speech. It won't take long to see where it's headed. And guess what? If it's not what he promised, bye bye! If it is, I see no harm in backing a true free speech site. Even more than one, as I'm not a fucking restard and can multitask.
Win win
If you treat it like Voat, you are going to get banned.
People exploiting free speech to run around slinging racial slurs and shitting on each other etc. will not only run contrary to our goals and values, it will play directly into the propaganda machine's hands. They'll point at it and go, "see!" and bring their most-definitely coming new start up with even more control.
I never expected twitter to be TRUE free speech even with Elon on board. I do however expect it to be "free speech" for normies. Namely, being able to espouse differing political opinions without being permabanned, like telling media snowflakes to "learn to code" for example. I'm sure "racist" comments and such will still be off limits.
How far will we be able to push it is the real question. I'm sure twitter will immediately be flooded with FAKE racists and homophobes and companies like media matters and MSM will be pushing for tighter controls on all of that. So where will "Elon" draw the line?
