Elon Musk Twitter debacle

Quote: Tanko

Senior Twitter engineer discussing the possible Musk takeover, on Project Veritas hidden camera.

"He's a capitalist and we weren’t really operating like capitalists, more like very socialist."

The "socialists," in fact, are very worried, because "we're all like commie as f---."

Pretty much confirms what we already knew.

Of course, Twitter and the rest have no “duty” to allow any speech; they are not part of the government and they can do what they want.

If Elon takes them private, he can also do what he wants.

The “duty” thing gets murky if you are considered a common carrier. If so then you do have it.

…but they aren’t considered that yet and anything trying to make them so has a court fight ahead.

Are there any memes out there yet portraying Musk as a weasel?

Make that a ferret instead...they have a strong stench of musk about them...

No social media site is a common carrier. I don't think even any website at all is (unless you count the sites for organization that are actually common carriers for non-digital services).

We might see them declared as such one day. They use the internet same as trucks use the roads.

It's private property
Of course they have no duty to freedom of speech
Like any business, they worship the dollar
Twitter as as much rights as the Wizard does on this site. No more, no less
The Wizard can nuke a member on a whim
I don't get all the Twitter complainers
It's absurd, dumb and stupid
Post on truth social

A SpaceX flight attendant said Elon Musk exposed himself and propositioned her for sex, documents show. The company paid $250,000 for her silence.

No wonder the righties have been so infatuated with Elon lately, they love sexual predators!

Who said you cannot put a price on perversion?

I think he got ripped off. The going rate for creepy billionaires is normally $130k.
