He seems decent. I worry about his large campaign donors and PAC money. That is a lot of donations from real estate lobbyists. I dont see any private equity donations.

His Twitter posts say otherwise. When he trolled back in the day, he trolled Republicans.

Here was his turning point. In 2020, standing in an LGBT friendly company he mocked those same people he once defended.

I agree it all could have been an act before this point ... but the fact remains even if it was ... he actually cared enough to act back then.

I understand what you are trying to say, but Twitter is far from free speech. Twitter is a mob/mind control device. It brings hatred to the forefront. The worst posts thrown right into people's faces, then they tailor the content to focus the hatred.
One only needs to type the words "Cis Gender" in Twitter to see the censorship, the hatred, and the target all working together.

That's not free speech, it's brainwashing. Reddit is just as bad.

The bot was probably right. That has been yelled a lot. Soylent Green is ... Rich people!

Yes, just the act of not producing products in countries with slave wages will make things more expensive.

Yes, sadly, freedom of speech includes freedom of hate speech. The platform would have to rely on its users downvoting or ridiculing the offender rather than outright bans.

The billionaire purchased media will radicalize a small racist and stupid portion of your population. That portion will grow like a cancer. Then the billionaires will pick some reality tv star or other bad actor to step up and take the reins of this hate group. Fight it now or lose your country like US citizens have.

If they bought a cyber truck they are pretty much guaranteed to be a dickhead.

Cybertrucks are very plain. They need decoration.

No, Musk was a leftist 10 years ago. I saw posts on Twitter of him defending LGBT. He completely went crazy maybe 5-6 years back and went full MAGA. I suspect it was his girlfriend of 4 years dumping him.
