wherein all things are debated, this is a democracy with free communication among the people, the First Amendment at its' zenith.

Despite what people might think about how *rump's message was amplified by access to Twitter, this is the same case in regards to opposition to him.

I believe that's what Elon feared the most because he thought it could/would become a challenge to oligarch interests.

One other thought that I considered as I viewed the video is whether Musk is buying up or shorting stock in companies that's he or someone is trashing on Twitter?

Thanks for the thread Quixote
