Elon will learn that free speech = unmarketable Nazi 1488 posting and n-word spam that loses all your corporate advertisers and either censor as much or more than Twitter does now or sell it off to someone who will.

Ehhh, I don't like to be an unfunny buzzkill, but I actually did think about it a lot. The thing with "unmarketable nazi shit" becomes a problem when you try to make

Perhaps. My main point is that even if he'd go balls-to-the-wall, everything-that-is-not-clearly-illegal - it still wouldn't affect the feeds of 99% of people much. You need some serious preponderance of genuine lunatics for
to start fricking with experience of normies.
