Musk and his apologists say if consumers donโt like what he does with Twitter, they can go elsewhere. But where else would consumers go to post short messages that can reach millions of people other than Twitter?

The โfree marketโ increasingly reflects the demands of big money.
Don't like it? Build your own twitter

Unless he has older Tweets indicating otherwise, I have to believe this is just some old boomer who wasn't aware of the whole "build your own platform" argument/meme before and is only just joining the conversation.

This dude was a fat greasy libtard lolcow when he was in Clintonโs cabinet.
Reich is so committed to generating leftoid seethe heโs literally the sole reason American CEOs are paid obscenely well.
His actions in office were some of the largest corporate boons in world history and heโs spent every waking hour since Bushโs inauguration sneeding about the people he accidentally supercharged.

Since I know you have big doubts about free speech (RIP Ruqqus), at least in its purest form, I'm curious to know what you think about Elon being a "free speech absolutist"? According to that TED interview he essentially said he wants to allow anything which isn't illegal according to the laws of the country.
Will twittoid ultimately become another right space echo chamber? Or has it passed a threshold of popularity where it's too big, even for rightoids to mess it up?

It can theoretically work with twitter because they have a large enough install base that the r-slurred nazis and qoomers will be similarly irrelevantly small just like the real world.
But if all these journoids and libs screeching about how theyโre leaving isnโt just hysterical bluffing, Twitter will suffer a major blow right out the gate and then settle into a perpetual state of decay because of it.
Reddit (post-jailbait ban) had a really desirable balance with their sheer size and general grudging tolerance of fringe views up until quarantines started. Harmless MDEโs ban was the death knell for Redditโs existence as anything out of the ordinary.

Ah don't know if you caught my last edit, but that's what I thought (and hoped) was a possibility!
They may simply be performing an LLM where they're not bluffing, but at the same time can't last more than a couple of days without returning, since their life revolves around BirdApp. Maybe that Talcum powder guy means it though.

They're really going for it with this Twitter=democracy thing. I've seen so many tweets saying this is the fall of democracy. Where could this sentiment be coming from? That's a rhetorical question.
