1. TFG will be back on Twitter. Wait and see.

2. It looks like I won't be inviting twitter into my personal universe anytime soon.

Elon Musk is a flaming racist prick who is not making the world a better place.

4. But...EVs. They'll save the planet, all because of Musk.

I'm not a fan of Elon Musk in any way. I don't like him. I suspect he is as much a narcissist as Trump is. Everything he does is designed to benefit Elon Musk. Tesla? OK, whatever. It won't be long before Tesla is just another boutique maker of cars. EVs will be coming from every manufacturer, and in much larger numbers than Tesla's.

Now, I don't know his intentions for Twitter. So, I have no idea whether it will allow Trump back on it again. We'll see.

6. It is frankly beyond absurd that Tesla has a market cap 10x that of Ford & GM combined (n/t)

3. I haven't been posting here in years.

But when I heard Musk is now an owner of twitter, I came to see if Democraticunderground was still here. I'm happy to see it is and after reading news and some of the forums, have been enjoying what I'm reading.

If trump is allowed back on twitter to dominate the platform with lies and conspiracies along with his gang of Q thugs, I will not be part of that platform.

5. Twitter want Musk on the board so that he would be a fiduciary

Being a fiduciary is a big deal legally and Musk did not want to be subject to such standard
