      This actually frustrates the crap out of me because when he first bought it I had high hopes for the direction he planned to take the platform in…and then he banned elonjet…and the silly rules just keep coming.

        Which direction? “Absolute” free speech? You had high hopes for …more racism, misogyny, and homo- and transphobia? Because that’s the type of speech that was “censored” before Elon’s takeover.

        Sounds like you didn’t know who Elon was back then. Or you were a naive.

          I didn’t really pay any attention to him until he started becoming mainstream…and I will say the disappointment has been annoying.

        Gee I’d be frustrated too, not at the direction Musk took twitter rather because I’d be deaf dumb and blind to think like this.

          No, he’s going to get downvoted to shit for having been stupidly naive enough to have taken Musk at his word.

          Everybody who was paying any attention at all and had two brain cells to rub together knew what Musk was long before the “free speech absolutist” claim.

            Sorry I didn’t pay that much attention to musk before he started going mainstream? I don’t make it a point to keep track of every billionaires flaws unless they become relevant to my life.

          He’s going to get downvotes because the only speech censored on Twitter before Musk was extreme bullshit like neo-Nazis.
