The thing is,

Elon Musk is being financed to destroy this platform.

They don't have to answer to Shareholders. They can destroy the brand if they want to.

Media Execs will sink all the money they want into this; because they're losing customers to Twitter users.

There are Autocrats around the world who would pay hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to spike a global communications platform that's bringing democracy to the far reaches of the planet.

This platform is all about engagement.

Corporate Media offers the opposite. #BigData

I've been kicked off this platform more times than I can count.

I probably deserved it once, I'll give them one. But, seriously...

No liberal has ever censored a view. Ever. We judge folks for their views, and conservatives take THAT as a personal attack.

Human nature.

Truth be known:

In the 80s, there was "The News". Just one big ole ball of news.

When Reaganomics failed, Conservatives couldn't answer for it. Then, they started to refuse to answer for it... and accused "The News" of being biased against them.

So, they self-segregated.

Conservatives created their very own outlets.

They spent millions, and made billions. Good business. Bad for society, though.

They're still complaining about "The News", as if they didn't spend a generation building their very own biased outlets.

They also call it mainstream

Morally and ethically, Conservatives failed at everything they've ever tried to do.

They can't exist in the real world. They need a captive audience.

#BigData provides them with an endless supply of the world's most gullible audience. #CambridgeAnalytica happens all the time.

@Twitter, for all of its flaws... is still the global soapbox. It still affords random with the ability to effect policy change.

It provides agency.
It gives access.
It's meant for more than we give it credit for. We take it for granted.

The UN should buy it.
Seriously.

Offer @elonmusk a chance to save face and look like a magnanimous genius; and he would dance on the head of a pin for you.

Offer $45B, and tell him he's lucky: we're nice.

@OTPPinfo might be able to finance a transition of ownership. We could make it worth their while.

The fund is worth more than Elon was, back when he was the richest man ever.

But as I read their financial reporting, I can see they have conservatives influencing their board.

Gross.

Sorry about that.

That's just my lizard brain talking. 🧠

I do go off the rails from time to time. The key is getting back on track.

Human nature is like this. 👍🏾

I heard positive things about the sobriety of those directing the USD and took it as a personal attack.

Whats the relation between social media ownership and failed conservative policies?

Everything.
It's all right there, really.

Republicans took out trillions in USD after losing in 2020.
They punished Americans for voting against them.

Then, #MBS cut #OPEC production.

Biden took over a raging dumpster fire. Kinda like Obama did.

Both accused of "not doing enough" or "failing to stem the tide.'

"The Buck stops at a Democrat's desk." -#CDNmedia

All media is conservative.

That's kinda the point.
Twitter was free in a lot of ways.

If you follow the sum total of every outlet on the planet, you're left as a conservative.

(That phrasing is spectacular.
Don't deny it, @TimRunsHisMouth)

The entire industry is a defacto conservative enterprise. It doesn't exist in the public interest like it once did.

(l)iberals don't honestly read or watch the stuff, except to get a sense of superiority - for being smarter than the professionals.

I do this as a hobby, and fellows like @OKnox would block me for questioning the narrative that "Biden spending caused inflation"

It's true doh
