    I think Mr. Musk can manage his patriotism and money making talent at the same time.

    We really need to do a better job of educating our children on Civics.

    The number of people who think twitter is capable violating the first amendment is sad.

    It's not complicated guys.

    Elon will not move the needle with Twitter's policies. This is just a profit move by Elon. He will be a headache until someone buys him out. Sorry fanboys.

    That would be nice…It seems like even on love of country they can’t do that because Fox and NewsMaxTV do it.

    I am not a member of Twitter. I never will be. I’m in Parler and Truth Social instead. My holdings in Twitter are solely to vote in favor of Musk on any issue he raises there on free speech or a hostile takeover.

    Sure. Twitter is interested maximizing its user base. If allowing alt-right nonsense drives more people away from the platform than it attracts; you better believe they’ll be banning the alt-right nonsense.

    Do I have to explain to you that you're not entitled to organize on company time? When you're using the employee app, you're doing company work. That's what that app is for. Work. Not organizing, not social bullshit. To help facilitate the employer's business.
    If they want to lock out anything organizing related on their private network that's only supposed to be used on company time and for company purposes? I find myself unmoved.

    Do you think straw man’s make your position look strong? If you’re above backing your claims you should probably avoid making them in the first place.

    This will not work on me if you want evidence of this find it yourself.

    I'm not that interested in proving reality to you if you want to deny or remain ignorant that that's your business.

    More conservatives will leave Twitter over other conservatives being banned or locked out of it than liberals will leave because a conservative person or opinion happens to be there.

    "Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong. It is character."--Albert Einstein

    Well, if that is true, then we are in trouble.

    Elon Musk is the fascists' idea the born economic genius hero, and the born executive.

    "From what social idea in Capitalistic Liberalism did this decisionism evolve? It is none other than the economic hero, the free independent entrepreneur of industrial capitalism.

    Using capitalist Germany as his example of a fascist society Marcuse writes:

    "The idea of the charismatic, authoritarian leader is already preformed in the liberalist celebration of the gifted economic leader, the “born” executive. (Ibid., page 18.)"

    "The total-authoritarian state is born out of the Liberal state and the former concept of the economic leader is transformed into a “Fuhrer.” (“The Struggle Against Liberalism in the Totalitarian View of the State,” in "Negations," Beacon Press, page 36)(pdf.)"

    I searched all night, I think I the wee-hours of the morning. I even employees a team of independent researches. We couldn’t find anything to substantiate your claim. Guess you’re just full of it.

    Thanks for being the impetus for such a thorough search though. I learned a ton!

    I’d be interested in some data that backs that up.
    As a corp their primary goal is making money. As I said before, maximizing their user base seems to be their best way of pursuing that goal.
    I’ll have to assume they are a rational actor until proven otherwise.
