Twitter is a private company that has clear ToS every user agrees to when they sign up. If those regimes he's referring to used the platform in such a way that violated those terms, then they should also be banned. Trump clearly violated the terms, so he was rightfully banned. Nothing is stopping him from posting on another social media platform like Parler or Truth Social. Other than the fact that they apparently suck and nobody is joining them. you get that thats a bigger problem then him being on twitte, right? the only people on these other platforms are the people that the left is afraid of him radicalizing, except theres no one to debate those people on there. its just one big echo chamber.

Sure that might be a problem if he actually posted there, but he doesn't. Ya know why? Because he's an attention whooer and there's no attention to be gained from those dusty corners of the internet. He wants the attention grabbing headlines he used to get when he'd tweet out covfefe from the crapper at 3am.
May 11, 20223 yr Musk Sells Twitter After It Fails to Make Him Interesting https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/musk-sells-twitter-after-it-fails-to-make-him-interesting SAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—In an abrupt about-face that has rocked the tech world, Elon Musk has decided to sell Twitter after it failed to make him interesting. Speaking to reporters, Musk said he was "disappointed” that his purchase of Twitter had done nothing to change the public’s perception of him as a tedious attention hog. "I really thought that owning Twitter would transform my image as a black hole of neediness,” he said. "Instead, it made me look desperate. And not in an interesting way.” Musk said that the last straw was when signalling his intention to let Donald J. Trump back on Twitter failed, yet again, to make the Tesla C.E.O. interesting. "I guess I didn’t realize that you can’t become interesting by associating with someone else who people don’t find interesting,” he said. "This whole thing has been a learning experience.”

There might be a couple in here who pretend to be Libertarian, who are actually part of THE CULT. Just like I said when he was banned, they're a private company and can do what they want with their platform. Don't care either way.

May 12, 20223 yr I think people forget how crazy Trump was after he lost. Tweeting stuff like "stop the count” on a daily basis. I mean, think about what that means in the most simplistic terms. He wanted election officials to throw out legitimate votes so he could remain President. Despite the non-stop tweets undermining the democratic process, twitter let him continue for two more months. It was only after his twitter activity led to an actual riot and breach of the Capitol that he was banned.

To be fair, if they were able to return the results on the same day as the election like every other 1st world country on the planet, he would have remained president.

Nahhh the other guy got more votes and won more states/electoral votes. In no crazy scenario you could come up with does the amount of votes for each guy change.

May 13, 20223 yr Why does it matter? I thought the whole idea was that Elon would fix everything anyway.

May 13, 20223 yr Share price down 10% today. Investors are spooked that the deal won't go through now. This guy F'ing sucks.
May 13, 20223 yr The basic consensus among analysts is that this is Musk angling for a price reduction due to the massive sell-off in social media stocks. If we were dealing with a normal person, I'd agree...but Musk is anything but normal. I haven't looked at the merger agreement, but I can't imagine that bots being less than 5% of total accounts is a condition. From the reports I've read, Musk has no due diligence out so he'd have to argue this violates a rep and warranty? Twitter just laid people off and lost senior execs, so if he wants to try and cut the price, he has real leverage. But again...it's Musk. He might just pay the $1bn and walk. Or he might change his mind in 30 minutes and stay at $54.20. I'm sure his advisors would tell him to try and cut the price, but not to go about it like this.

He's got a point but twitter it really shouldn't matter what the owner of twitter does I've been on the side of if you don't like their policy then don't use it
