I imagine that you're fine with people like TFG being allowed to tweet to his heart's content, so I'm not going to get involved in a discussion with you about the ramifications of Musk taking ownership.

what BS they post.

Now, if Musk removes those little white boxes where we can post a rebuttal, I'll move on (I've probably posted 5 times on Twitter since they've been active). Of course, if he removes the ability to post, then Twitter will be of no use to anyone.

Besides, Musk hasn't reinstated trump, we don't know that he will, trump says he won't come back to Twitter, etc.

My sister has one mainly for her special interests. I doubt she'll give it up but I can't speak for her.

Twitter people were asking where they would post after Twitter became authoritarian. I recommended democratic underground as an alternative. I suggest you do the same. Q is back.

I would like to see how many people did the same. I think today is just the start of a big exodus from Twitter.

Social media won't be purchased; the traffic will just move elsewhere.
