I'm glad X was taken private so they can do stuff like this without worrying about the effects on the public market. It's been too easy to push through censorship on social media platforms, I'm glad at least one has the strength to push back.


Doesn’t X censor usage of the word “cisgender”?


Do a search for it and find out. (The answer is no)


Same. But I somehow doubt that Elon paid a premium of 1000% for Twitter for free speech.

Its more likely that after he scared away all the advertisers, him doubling down as "champion of free speech" was the only face saving act

If you think about it, paying $50 billion dollars and then within two years ending up with a company worth 95% less isn't very smart.

Sure Elon might be a centi-billionaire but a lot of it comes from Tesla which also is struggling.

For the little guys, his loss is a gain for us all. I especially love that he openly supports Trump
