Foolish to the Extreme: Musk Vows to End Twitters Morally Bad Trump Ban
A MISTAKE
I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country, he said Tuesday.

Elon Musk confirmed on Tuesday that he would reinstate former President Donald Trumps Twitter account if his takeover of the social media company goes through.
I guess the answer is I would reverse the perma-ban.
Musk grew more animated as he continued to speak on the topic. I think it was a morally bad decision, to be clear. And foolish to the extreme, he said.

(7,438 posts)So, I hope it doesn't go through. But, it's good to know exactly where Elon stands on Democracy. Not that anyone really cares. But, if Trump is allowed back on Twitter, then we will be submerged in media retweets ad nauseum. Everything that Trump touches dies. So, say goodbye to Twitter. Run while you can.
Morally bad?? Trump, if allowed, will execute people. He wants anyone who ever crossed him imprisoned or executed. If Trump is allowed back to spew his venom, the moral virtue of Twitter will be of little consequence.
Just remember that Elon said that it was "morally bad" to keep Trump from drenching the entire country in vomit. This is an example of his own judgment. I am not impressed with his brains at all.

(11,479 posts)I'm 100% in EVs, but also didn't buy a Tesla. Mostly because my VW was a better EV and cost a lot less than the equivalent Tesla model. But Musk really annoys me as well, and that was a factor.
I wonder if this move could shift sales to other carmakers. At this point, I'd much rather support other carmakers than Tesla. Maybe we need to hit Musk at the source of his obscene wealth and tie Tesla purchases to support for TFG.

(36,449 posts)In spite of the media pushing the narrative that we're a deeply divided nation, Trump's followers weren't a "large part of the country."
Roughly half the eligible voters in the US don't vote
Hillary Clinton won more popular votes than Trump
Large part of the country my ass. I thought Musk was supposed to be smart. He's starting to come across as a Trump type who gets all his information off cable news.
