Awesome, just hope he's able to do what he says/wants to do with it!

And what's that?
Yeah I know I could google it, but as I don't care a heck about twitter, I haven't documented me yet in the topic (and I don't think I will)
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

He says he "wants to turn it into a platform for free speech". Maybe he should have bought Telegram

Step 1) Buy Twitter
Step 2) Shut it down, for the good of humanity
Step 3) Repeat with Facebook?

FB is a scourge of humanity and Zuk should put in jail!

From your lips to God's ear, as they say.

If anything should be posted in the Insider News forum, it's this! Wonder why I don't see it there.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I was off fixing a couple of bikes when the news hit. And shane and Bob just didn't care enough to post. 
To avoid duplication (because some people are physically hurt by it), I'm just using this as one of the "Hot Threads" in tomorrow's newsletter.

Great. Now itβs going to turn into a place where people post stupid opinions and then argue about them and call each other namesβ¦;)
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I couldnβt care less.
I never signed up for Twitter.
I donβt know how to sign up, how to use it.
I donβt care if Elon Musk now monetizes Twitter with ads, extra charges for services, etc.
I am trying to stay away from social media.
As it is, Farcebook is sending me friend requests from friends of friends of friendsβ¦..ad infinitum. I donβt know many of these people and I donβt need them as my friends.
My life is complete without them.
It cannot be more complete with their addition; more complex maybe, but certainly not more complete.
God only knows how many FBI or CIA files I am on because of these interconnected spider webs of people who have tenuous if not non-existent connection with me.
I really hope someone nukes the data centers of Twitter, Farcebook, Google, Amazon and anybody else who collects data on unsuspecting people.

Have you gotten any friend requests from dead relatives yet? Kinda creepy when you see those.

It will make zero difference to my life. I'm not on Twitter, FB or any other social media platform. I value my privacy. And my only interest in Musk, is wondering how such a complete duck got to be so rich!

Maybe.
Just don't forget various (extreme) "left" and "right" wing movements (like BLM and LGBTQ+), companies, and politicians are fueled by big tech and social media, and they do make a difference to our lives (and usually not for the better)

There is when they start looting the place, or when 6-year olds get a sex change, or when (biological) men win women's sports, or when (biological) men get access to women's prisons or women's shelter, or when people get fired for calling it out.
Other than that, absolutely not.

OK, there might be something in that, but those are extremes, that's not what the movement is really about. Homophobia still exists.
And to lump BLM into the same category does not sit well with me. I think a lot of people hope that George Floyd didn't die in vain. I certainly do.

"Life is a minestrone" - sure, but what does that actually mean? Oh wait, I've got it. It means it's full of different bits and you have to savour them all. And so you do.

Sure, I also fully support feminism.
What I don't support are the feminazis who aren't pro-equal rights, but anti-men.
The same goes for BLM and LGBTQ+, I fully support equal rights for anyone.
What I don't support are the people who abuse these movements and who shout the loudest (which, unfortunately, have become synonymous with the movements).
People of color can be racist and I should be able to say so without being called a racist myself.
Black people are more likely to commit a crime, that's statistics and not racism (I'm not talking about the problems leading to these statistics, which may well be racism).
When we can't call out these facts in fear of being demonized or canceled, we can't solve their underlying problems.
The result is that the whole BLM movement has been reduced to "black person good, white person bad" (or the opposite, when you don't agree).
Or even "white straight male bad, anything else good."
Unfortunately, these movements, be they "left" or "right", are currently polarizing and unconstructive.
The same goes for the terms "left" and "right", by the way.
You're either the one or the other, there's barely an in-between anymore.
Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter have greatly helped in polarizing these movements, yet they change society as a whole.
That's why you really should care whose behind these platforms even when you don't have an account.
