3. "Fast learner" sounds hopeful. I'm interested in seeing what he does, recognizing the risks.

I once read a very depressing piece on what the reviewers for FB go thru on alerted posts. They need councilors to help them deal with it. There are some very nasty evil people out there. At some point, Musk will be shown examples of the kinna vile and hateful stuff they help block, and he'll find some of his assumptions about how things should be managed were based on naive ignorance.

the issues he doesn't know about. That's what heads of companies do, as do Presidents, governors, etc. Obviously, he might hire experts we don't like.

Still not sure he's worse than Blackrock, etc.

I mean, wasn't twitter dead a few years ago? I thought Trump put the final nail in the coffin.

Maybe I'm the one out of touch with media.

10. "Authenticating all humans" is a sign that he wants to eliminate privacy on the platform.

drop his followers by a million or so. I guess since he owns it he can override defeating his own Bots though.
