In a tweet referencing an incident in which Musk alleged a man stalked a car his son was a passenger in, he questioned Weiss as to what “the consequence of doxxing someone’s real-time, exact location” should be. The data Sweeney worked with was publicly available aviation data, and no connection has been established between the alleged incident and his work. Despite this, Musk has seized on the incident and Sweeney’s work as a justification for a rule changes banning any and all mention of precise location data. 

Twitter’s content moderation standards are becoming a mess where neo Nazi’s are allowed but posting federal aviation data isnt, but there’s one rule thats being plastered all across the website: Be nice to Elon Musk or else.

Gdamn

4. He's not, which is why he bought Twitter

Because Twitter IS important to many people in this day and age.

Not to me, I don't have an account, but I still understand how it has integrated itself into a lot of professions. Political reporters, sports pundits, etc..

Its like if Musk bought Google, or YouTube. It would be difficult to disengage.

Its because no one would listen to him, so he bought the most used and loudest microphone he could. Knowing the trouble it would be for millions to even think about switching to clumsier and less used alternatives.

2. Musk is a total buffoon.

Musk and Trump have proven that ¨billionaires¨ who actually got their money from Daddy are far from geniuses.

3. Great point Temeret! Where are the GOP reps who complained

about free speech before Musk? Crickets from them.

6. What gets me is the hypocracy about his definition of the Freedom of Speech ...

To me, the Freedom of Speech is the ability to say what you want knowing that we would not face any repercussions.
On Twitter, you don't have that Freedom if you even mention Elon or Musk or Elon Musk.
Forget it if you're even critical in any way.

But, that's just me.
