Nature abhors a vacuum


When one thing dies another takes it's place.

Twitter has become a selective censorship cesspool. What happened to "I disagree with what you say but will defend to death your right to say it?"

For his faults, Elon seems to be a return to freedom more Libertarian style ideologist. I like it.

That said, even if he does reform the platform, another well-funded censorship platform will pop up.
