    They aren’t his employees in the perspective that he hires them. They are leftovers, incompetent, and they are being replaced.

    Pretty standard practice when acquiring a business.

    I am not part of the 'left' and I do not give a flying flamingo about Twitter, and least of all, the Chief Twit and your Guru, Humpty Trumpty. They are both fools, except one does know how to handle new vehicle technology to make money and also how to put all that money at huge risk by buying Twitter and being the ultra uber capitalist vandal he is in managing it. He expects people to work their knuckles off for him but says nothing about paying them appropriately in response. The other one is just yesterday's moronic political waste and just like an unflushable poop in the bowl, he keeps hanging around polluting the body politic.

    Strange that twitter has neglected to show arguably the most incendiary of Trump's tweets from that day, from 2:24 while the Capitol was under attack and which was very shortly followed by chants of "Hang Mike Pence":
    "Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!"

    OK, if you want to throw out false information and then not defend it or retract it, that's up to you I guess.

    If they do, Twitter will be for sale again at bargain basement prices.
    It strikes me Musk may be a very clever technical wizard but that he should leave commerce to someone else.

    If this was the right thing to do, shouldn't it apply to all the other accounts that have been banned in the past (and any banned in the future)? Simple unmoderated polls should be the sole deciders of what can and can't appear on the site?

    I doubt that can produce a fair result since every forum I have ever been on has had the voice of the right as the loudest.
    Meanwhile those on the left are too busy making a living to waste on discussion forums.

    If you're referring to my timeline of tweet then chant, then I accept I got that the wrong way round (https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a40654010/jan-6-timeline-trump/). Which arguably makes Trump's tweet even worse. But this is a diversion from the thread. Side note- you see how easy it is to admit a mistake? I've no idea why people are so reluctant to do it here.

    So Elon restored the Firehose of Falsehood's account which was suspended after the Jan 6th failed coup attempt? Elon appears to be very needy for attention as is the firehose?

    Elon musk was the lefts dream boy until he came out saying the left has left him. The left hates free speech. What has musk done wrong in this country? Why attack him?

    I suspect you do find it funny.
    But across social political media the right is forever whining about woke, Democrats, black people and minorities, immigration, how unfair life is for white people who are losing their culture to minority influences, who make excuses for white cops who treat other people differently , who criticise those who stand up against racism, who criticise teachers for corrupting the young, etc etc etc.
    It really does get quite tedious.

    It’s actually quite the opposite lol. It’s full of the left complaining about fake racism despite electing an actual racist in Brandon, irrationally attacking police, climate change, white supremacy despite it overwhelmingly being dead, attacking anyone as a racist for pointing out the irrational narratives blm and antifa push, attack people as “rape supporters “ for taking the very reasonable stance of not just believing all women, the list goes on and on lol. Yes, quite tedious indeed, though it does admittedly appear that culture is moving away from supporting the far left that push all of the above, so that’s good.

    Now however, the left has no choice but to leave thier echo chamber on twitter if they wish to participate on it. This is a good thing.

    What stupid impulse leads you to say the left, whatever that is, hates free speech?
    Musk keeps changing his mind about how he wants to run this company and he has suddenly realises that advertisers reduce his debt far more effectively than high moral standards.
    The issue is money, 40 billion dollars of it, not left right ideology.

    The left was complaining about Musk getting Twitter as soon as he started talking that he is a free speech absolutist. Have you not been watching?

    here’s one article as an example

    The left openly attack free speech constantly. They call everything they disagree with “dangerous” to even discuss and call for banning of those they disagree with.

    The left overwhelmingly hates free speech. Nothing the left controls allows opposing viewpoints lol.
