I sure hope he has reasonable plan for Twitter that will prevent Fox News, corporate and Russian propaganda from swamping the system.
No one really knows what his plans are.

I think his plan is to make Twitter completely unmoderated.
He may try to banish bots, but I have a feeling that the days of the company hiding lies posted by real people is over.
Imagine 400 million monkeys in a cage flinging feces at each other. Itll be something like that.

I suspect if he does, it will be like the reek of cigarette smoke to a former smoker.
