He’s an egomaniac asshole manchild. His version of free speech will be “I don’t like that, that’s against the terms of use. I like that, if it offends someone else too bad that’s free speech”. There’s absolutely no requirement to be consistent, that’s a norm accepted by centrists and rejected by deplorables.

Yeah but he’ll run into some headaches where it could be deemed unseemly by someone like say, Joe Biden, to have an active twitter presence and then you get renewed competition from Google, Meta, etc.
There is of course this popular narrative that Twitter ‘went woke’, but I’m pretty sure they were just trying to maximize the value of the company.

It will be minorities and marginalized people who get hurt the most.

Lol, that’s all he’s got?
Odds he puts Candace Owens or Kanye West on this council?

they are going to swap twitter/parler board seats, before inevitably one buys the other.
Excited to see whether Elon handles moderation disputes better or worse than this forum!

Honestly this is more than I expected of him.
Wait and see what " widely diverse viewpoints" means. If he means 4 different kinds of Nazis that’s not great.

If?
It’s like if individual Discourse installs could voluntarily choose (or not) to interact with one another, allowing full access to dumbsplinterforum.com without ever leaving Unstuck and vice-versa. They call it federation.
If he just starts mass reinstating people like Kanye advertisers are going to flee and the company will sink. He’s not a total idiot.
