So it looks like Elon Musk might actually buy Twitter. If
he succeeds, this ought to be interesting enough to get
out the popcorn and watch the fireworks on Twitter.
I've only heard some occassional news on the matter in the last
few weeks. Interesting. And if I remember correctly, his
intention is to revert it back to a private company - in order
to avoid the current scrutiny that public companies endure.
That's an innovative and genius move. Twitter has now
established itself as a viable advertiser model, so it could
probably succeed as a private biz now.
Hello All,

I don't think there will be big changes to the way Twitter
works torwards the end user, but when ownership changes,
the first thing they do is to behead all the middle-rank
supervisors and replace them with ones chosen by the new
owner.
It is going to be so fun to watch all the Twitter censors
be put to the sword. Die, suckers, die!

Looks like they're all panicking like crazy. The Verge even published an article on how to delete your Twitter account.
I think all the nutjob lefties will leave Twitter and the moderate left will remain. I have several Democrat friends that I like to spar politically wit but we agree to disagree (though we do agree on a surprising number of issue and move on.

the new owner of being a Trump supporter and left before he took any measure.
The few that remained back were openly hostile torward the new management and started complaining when channels which promoted Liberachat (Freenode's competitor) were closed.
The fact the new owner was an abysmal manager and managed to piss of the users who wanted to stay didn't help either.

Because they fear:
1. That they will lose control of the Narrative.
2. That they might see something that they disagree with.

I think it is ironic that the same people who like to throw the word "fascist" around are the ones who are so upset about the idea of a
social network adopting a more free-speech-friendly attitude.
I might actually log back into that turd.. He saved that company from their stock tanking to $20. If he walked away tomorrow, Twitter stock would drop 50% in less than a minute.

Free speech is not cheap, but I can't think of a better use for the money. Hopefully it will become the real media platform and all the old school "new companies will go backrupt.

Yeah.. they think the minions need short phrases like because
they think that the minions only absorb memes. :D But any
intelligent person would realize that "social media" is a
platform, and "journalism" is an activity.
