The crazies have wasted no time on Twitter now that Elon is in charge. He has personally promised the guy who uses the handle CatTurd, who is an Individual 1 backer and a QAnon whacko, that he will investigate if he has been shadowbanned on Twitter, which is not a thing. One poster posted the N word multiple times. Another one posted “Black lives don’t matter”. And Marge Greene yesterday posted “Wait till tomorrow”, which many have interpreted to mean that she’s expecting to get unbanned.
Musk, who changed his Twitter bio to “Chief Twit,” has made it clear he intends to bring other big changes to the social media company. He has said both in public appearances and in private messages that he wants to relax Twitter’s moderation rules and that he dislikes permanent bans.
My guess is that Twitter is going to sink. Now will be a good time for a competing platform to get released.
Not to mention that Congress has been leaning on the social media companies a lot in recent years. If he truly makes this an “anything goes” platform, he’s going to have a huge headache from them. This isn’t going to go well. Twitter did not have the policies they had because of ideology.
