What a weird argument. Of course I am on twitter. It’s not that difficult to make an account. Furthermore I am no American. So definitely not a FOX news guy.

Musk has let back account onto the platform with political standpoints that were unwanted by the past leadership of twitter. That’s what I consider restoration of freedom of speech. Of course a platform has the house right and can choose to censor people. But they also have the option to enforce freedom of speech, just as we live it in a face to face conversation.

My knowledge of twitters finance: If the platform runs with a much smaller team, just as well as it did before, then the previous team was bloated. And so was the stock price. Big company teams always sound nice on paper. But they are often expensive and unsustainable. Everyone was crying our that twitter will die, the moment Musk fired staff. But it did not happen. Leftists were simply enraged, that their platform was bought by a republican.

Musk actually did a good thing with Twitter. Reduced cost, got rid of the ridiculous amount of staff and restored freedom of speech.
