Twitter is a NSA/DOD funded operation. The cost to run it far exceeds the revenue. By hundreds of millions per year. Or more.

Musk is the DODs largest outside contractor.

He was “allowed” to take it over to provide the illusion that it is an actual viable business. It is not. It is a surveillance and opinion shaping platform where psyops are pushed and truth goes to die.

I do not trust Elon. Never did. He's getting in all cozy with MAGA and once he's there anything can happen. Maybe China will give him ANOTHER award.

I could absolutely see this. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

He said. He would open source code it so everyone could see. I’ll wait until then to make a judgement. There had to be some control like it or not.

It’s interesting how it’s in sync with what former DHS officials are saying..I agree that there needs to be moderation. But whether it should be up to companies, regulators, or readers is another question.

Of equal importance, I’m testing the Substack video upload capabilities.

What a coincidence! Except for speech that is illegal under the law, like inciting a riot, or threatening a life, all should be allowed. It seems most of social media neglects to censor the above, but censors political speech in a heartbeat.
