the law has never really been the issue, just make it the same as we have in public. no porn, gore, threats of violence, etc.

it's the federal govt having to take on the responsibility that follows that is a massive issue. we'd need a whole new department to do it effectively or even ineffectively.

if twitter is run by a shitty automated mod, who cares. its the same as a dominos app not letting you order pizza. if the govt cant get it right its a serious serious issue.


I was including enforcement in how to write the law.

Because the right wing in America has spent the past 50+ years waging a war on adequate government enforcement.

that's not an issue, just enforce how we police speech now for in person speech on social media and after a few weeks they'll be begging it to go back and they'll be the ones attacking free speech. once the overbloated new DoD dept gets around to enforcing the law on millions of people per year who use social media to threaten people with violence. in reality its not possible to enforce it as a govt entity until MAYBE we do another 10-20 years on the automation to highlight actual problematic speech.

social media should always stay private and should have no govt interference, even on misinformation.

I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.

However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.

As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced. My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.

Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.

Elon Musk

Only reason this is "smart" is because the SEC is barely functional. This kind of blatant and illegal market manipulation would have, at one time, been prosecuted, but we just kind of let billionaires fleece whoever they want anymore.
