    The only notable change I can even see Musk making is unbanning Trump himself. And I think if the take over does happen the entire "free speech" illusion will hinge on Trump's account. If he unbans Trump it will be seen as "free speech restored!" by conservatives. If he doesn't unban that account it will be seen as "nothing has changed".

    Twitter can not monitor everyone's political opinions, they have algorithms in place to ban trolls and porn just like any other place. If you get on there and tweet "DIE LIBS DIE!!!" you'll probably get flagged and banned but it won't be because of your politics.
    We never said all. But they do censor Conservative voices. Recently, the Babylon Bee was suspended and Juanita Broadrick was suspended indefinitely. I mean, you just don't hear of Liberal pundits being suspended or banned. It's always Conservatives. So there is extreme bias on Twitter. It's not a myth or lie. It's reality.

    The woke libtard agenda cannot stand up to scrutiny. Free speech must be suppressed and dissenters silenced.
    But if they don't like it, they can build their own Twitter.

    I mean maybe you're right, maybe they will sell I don't know. I'm just predicting a rejection but I could be wrong.
    I don't see them selling at that price. I would be surprised if they did. In just November, it was over 60$. The market has been down since then for growth stocks so once the interest rates/inflation stabilizes, Twitter will go up again in value.

    If musk can get Twitter to sell at 54, that would be a huge steal for him tbh. I'm sure the Twitter board knows it too.

    It's happening already. I think that clown on MSNBC that's married to that Mika slut was mentioning Section 230 or whatever the hell it is. They're in panic mode cause they won't be able to control the narrative.

    I don't touch social media stocks. Too volatile tbh. There are too many social media platforms too, which raises the risks. Growth stocks are a bad idea right now anyways.

    Edit: I think I used to have Pins at one point a while back, which I dumped while back, but I don't know if I would consider it social media.

    What risk? You just described a sure thing.

    n just November, it was over 60$. The market has been down since then for growth stocks so once the interest rates/inflation stabilizes, Twitter will go up again in value.

    It pains me to say this, but Twitter has no rival.

    Facebook is nothing but ads nowadays. Wouldn't even compare them to Twitter. Twitter's format is what I'm talking about. Not many like it. None as good.

    There are better stocks than twitter, such as in the financial & technology sector. I am not waiting more than a year for a $15 gain per twitter share. Elon Musk can afford to wait - also with the number of shares he would have, $15 per share is huge.

    There are total of 763m twitter shares. If Elon bought out Twitter and waited a year for $15 gain, he would make $11.4 billion.
