They don’t understand what this means yet. Pretty soon his haters will become his supporters and they won’t even notice the change 
Hopefully he “inspires” some needed changes like makes the character count limit to 420 and brings about the edit button.
Some people are shitting their pants from this news ATM

How is having 9.2% gonna make him the captain of anything?
He will be the largest shareholder but nowhere near a majority.
What is he gonna do, take over as CEO?
Doesn't seem likely.
Good on him for being smart enough to know that "making his own social network" would just have been a complete failure and trying to buy someone else's instead, but I doubt this means much of anything other than him throwing his money around.

He'll get a board seat and be able to help make some strategic decisions. But is he going to impose some massive change? No. Why would he? He wants to have it remain a successful company, and if he mucks it up, it'll fall like Meta/Facebook. Plus, the other board members would vote against it. So, yes, he is now semi important in Twitter, but he ain't calling the shots.
What makes me laugh is that Twitter is a business. It really isn't about Free Speech. They have community guidelines that say you cannot promote violence or other things. The reality is, Musk is missing the point. I mean, a newspaper might have a comments section, but they will remove anything defamatory or hate speech.
What makes me laugh is people believe what they are told by these media companies. The CEO and its members all speak on behalf of their major investor and always support their interests. To them money and shareholders matter over what they claim they stand for. They are just pawns or puppets to be strung by their masters. They don’t care and have not cared in a while to do what is right or what they say they stand for. Elon wants to make Twitter algorithm open source. He will also attract his circle of investors to pile on. Also people assume that he is done buying. Right now he has Jack and ARK investors on his side. Pretty sure their circles will have majority stake if not already then eventually.
soon they will find out what this means/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23365881/1239417462.jpg)
Elon Musk buys 9.2 percent of Twitter amid complaints about free speech
‘Is a new platform needed?’ he asked last month.
I certainly hope that he stands by his principles. He is completely right about the town square concept and the need for combating all forms of censorship. I'm very excited that he is on board and literally putting his money where his mouth is. I might even get myself a Twitter account, now.View attachment 135585

Trump's Truth Social App Is Bombing So Hard That Top Executives Are Quitting
Truth Social, Donald Trump's new social media platform, is having so many issues that top executives are leaving.

Trump's Truth Social app branded a disaster
Donald Trump's social media platform was supposed to be "fully operational" by the end of March.

Two top Truth Social execs resign from the company
Downloads for the app are at an all-time low.
I'm willing to bet there will be no major changes, regardless of how much Musk buys. You are not going to see them lower their community standards. Musk owns less than 10%. Yes, he might not be done buying, but I doubt he'll pony up $37B to buy the rest of the company he doesn't own to take it private. If he makes any serious changes (or tries to), the board will tell him to pound sand. They have a successful product. It is the dominant player. Competitors are weak and pathetic. There is already enough toxic behaviour on the site, opening up the floodgates would likely cause a significant number of users to abandon Twitter. That would then lead to a shareholder revolt.
So, if you think Elon is going to make Twitter more like Gettr, Parler or Truth, you are very much mistaken.

I think it's cute that you believe those conspiracy theories, yet also believe mainstream journalists are all liberals. It just doesn't add up.
Here's the reality: If your source of news is a place like Breitbart, then it really isn't news. They do so little original reporting (if any). Instead, they take reporting from the wires (AP/Reuters/AFP/CP. etc.) and spin it. If it was true, the Washington Post wouldn't write negative stories about their owner (Jeff Bezos) or his other companies (Amazon). Yet, they have.
The old school media companies are not perfect. They make mistakes in their reporting. Some of it damages their credibility, which they need to fight hard to win back. But, for the most part, what separates them from a lot of internet based crap (Breitbart, Daily Caller, Occupy Democracy) is that they admit they make mistakes and correct things. They also do original reporting, investigative reporting. All of it is thoroughly vetted. Which means they don't just take information from a Rudy and print it without verifying stuff, like Hunter's laptop. They are careful to make sure they are accurate, because making a mistake can result in serious consequences, both financially and reputationally.
self proclaimed terbs know it alls know fuck all almost every single time. But they like how they sound and convince and echo chamber each other to shit almost every single time.

The way I understand it is they have their idea of what free speech and expression is as validated through their echo chambers and if this is outside this paradigm they will scream, call names and revolt.
As I understand it Musk intends on open sourcing the algos so everyone sees how they function and adopt a more universal approach to enable true free speech and not the left or middle or upside down paradigm to reign supreme. He plans to make it transparent and open. Right now nobody knows how the algos function and how much human influence and ideological influence they have at Twitter HQ.
He has contacts to some very talented programmers for example Lex Friedman and his circles.
This threatens the left paradigm because they feel like their way is the way and anything else is hateful bigoted etc. they can’t see anything else as true.
Good thing for us we have technology to get us outside all of ours paradigm locks.
I'm only afraid that Elon opened a real Pandora's' Box. The lefties will throw everything, including the kitchen sink and their fetuses, at him in order to destroy him. This is going to be Tucker × 1 000 000. There's nothing that threatens their madness more than open conversations.
Highly unlikely that they will have any impact. The vast majority of people are on his side and support open source and transparency. It’s the few prolific posters and bot accounts that spread fear and misinformation and this toxic left ideology and try to use fear and intimidation to get their way. They infiltrated and took control over censorship and dug their own grave in these companies. All they are doing now is stepping in it and allowing their compadres to burry them in it.
There is a reason he waiting at the right time to do this. It’s all calculated.
As far as I am concerned the MSM is dead. So is FB, google, Instagram, Snapchat and the like.
This is the perfect opportunity to do this when the majority of eyes are wide open to what is happening.
Why do you back the party that bans books, passes 'don't say gay' and then try to claim you're for free speech?
Its pathetic.
