Boy, the lefties are going to squeal when Elon allows free speech on this major platform.

Any other rich person/entity that could possibly top his offer (Alphabet, et al) would run into "monopoly" problems with the SEC.

So Trump has his own “Twitter” called Truth.

He says he won’t join back.

His stock price has plummeted since Elon made his first big buy.

Truth had a rocky start up.

They lost momentum.

Now this.

It got as high as $150 now maybe $37.

Interesting way the news ended up juxtaposed in article headlines on Google News (image attached).

Watching the leftist loons melt down is worth the price of admission all on it's own. God Bless Elon Musk for this wonderful moment in history!

I'm just wondering how far he's going to go with this free speech thing. For example, will the KKK have a channel? How will he keep the discussions from devolving into just a bunch of trash talking garbage?

why not?
There are some places in the webs that I won't go, just like there are some places in cities I won't go.

I have posted very little on twitter, the last being almost two years ago. I hardly remember how it works, but if I remember there something called "Lists." Could this be similar to "Threads," on forums, or Groups on FB? That way you could use the platform without wading in muck you don't like. Also, can't you block people?
I joined hoping to find a literary agent and read advice that one way was to follow them in twitter, making the occasional tweet and being sure to quote them in query letters. I couldn't find one that was self absorbed and impressed with their own wokeism. I coundln't bring myself to fawn over them, even to get a book deal. But I still get the occasional email they so and so has a new tweet. I just ignore them.
