Many things would continue to be moderated, delusional to think otherwise


For example, is Musk going to spend $40 billion and then allow unrestricted "kill the Jews" content or countless other vile and disgusting things? Unless he is content to buy something and watch it lose value. Twitter is in business to sell ads. If you go too far into the sewer of humanity you're going to make corporate America nervous.

The most repugnant views will still be censored because Twitter is a business. And then Musk will therefore not be running a true free speech platform. Which I don't think anyone actually wants. I am not signing up to dive into the slime and the platform is bad enough already. They have the right to say it but I don't have to register an account and listen.
