Less than 24hrs after you posted this, Chuck Schumer and Democrats are in panic mode over the possibility of losing Georgia Senate seat according to a hot mic with Biden

"That seat, we're in danger in that seat ... it's close, we'll see," Schumer told Biden from an airport tarmac in Syracuse, New York. "It looks like the debate didn't hurt as much in Pennsylvania as of today, so that's good. And we're basically picking up steam in Nevada."
"The state where we're going down now is Georgia," he added. "It's hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker."
We would see. Hot mic or not, the guy is a low quality candidate imo considering how he has been courting controversies. But well, that will ultimately be for the voters to decide.

Amazing how he can quickly flip. If he comes back, The Dems would use the operation let him speak on him again. However, him coming back on twitter would likely spell a complete doom for his truth social.
Truth social never stood a chance before tbf. it was just a stop gap in the mean time.

Social media takes years to grow and become big, it doesn't happen over night. The likes of Twitter, IG, Facebook etc went through years of ups and downs before they became big.

Exactly. The moment he returns to Twitter, Truth Social would just have to be closed down

Low quality or not, controversy or not. while you were declaring Walker as finished, The top Democrat senator Schumer is in panic mode

I've been reading Twitter fears from liberals .
So concerned that free speech on Twitter will be restored.
Looks like a bubble world to me liberals want to only read what they hold true whether it's myopic or not
That there are only two genders outrages liberals.

Elon Musk will learn though I don't think he is foolish enough to try turn Twitter into something like 4chan.

So Musk wants the reinstate the account of someone who has shown animosity towards him. Thus, already making him better than Mayo Dalai Lama Jack Dorsey and Show bobs & Vijaya Gaade.

Musk is a Capitalist. If Trump coming back on twitter will bring in more money for him, why not cheesy

He has already mentioned that he won't let people turn the platform to shit (so speech is still not truly free)...that would scare major advertisers away.

Earlier this week, Musk visited Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters to meet with employees. He also posted an open letter to Twitter advertisers, saying he doesn’t want the platform to become a “free-for-all-hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences.
Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by saxywale2: 6:41pm On Oct 28, 2022
According posts on Twitter, Twitter Data Engineers being let go. One of them owns a Tesla.

I think Musk is going to deploy a lean business model to squeeze out as much profit as possible.

I know, capitalists chasing money are (usually) better than Marxists censoring dissent.

Well, Musk is going to censor contents too. He already told advertisers. It's all about the money at the moment end of the day.

He's not going to do anything that crazy. He'll probably just reinstate some banned accounts that people were angry about and stop pulling the type of crap that Twitter pulled with the Hunter Biden laptop story. He's a businessman and he won't rock the boat that much

Of course he will. He's just going to reduce the left wing bias in the application of rules. Probably nothing special.

If I buy a tesla today, does it mean I have a high chance in working at Twitter and a good job security? Folks looking for Electric Car Man Bad narrative

Twitter will not change much. Just that people who have been silenced for saying there is only two Genders will have the freedom to speak.

This exactly. Twitter would not change much. You can already curate your own feed to your taste and remain in your safe space. However, leftists don't want right-wing ideologies to exist in any space at all

Quite a good number of banned users were given the get out of jail card, but it seems they are getting censored/re-banned again.

I think moderating a social media platform is very tough. I read about how some Facebook employees developed mental health issues from nasty posts they had to moderate.

The democrats who will send black men to pose as white supremacists in support of a political opponent have started making false flags up and down to confirm their delusion.

There would always be examples of trolls who can get banned without anything of value being lost.

However, they then use that same logic to ban LibsOfTikTok when she posts a video of a children's hospital saying they perform gender reassignment on minors. They intentionally conflate that with 14-year-olds spamming the n-word.
