NEW YORK, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Elon Musk has taken ownership of Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) with brutal efficiency, firing top executives but providing little clarity over how he will achieve the ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform.
"The bird is freed," he tweeted after he completed his $44 billion acquisition on Thursday, referencing Twitter's bird logo in an apparent nod to his desire to see the company have fewer limits on content that can be posted.

Elon has been getting a lot of shit lately, some of it self inflicted, but I think is a net positive for the world .. so far.
I think it was dumb to buy twitter, idk much about stocks but I think platforms like twitter and facebook are inherently revenue generating limited. No one is going to pay to use it and no one wants a ton of ads.
Starlink to ukraine early in the war was crucial to them. And he did take on the risk that russia would hack him and cause serious damage in return. Yeah he sounded whiny a few weeks ago when he pouted he was going to take his ball and go home bc he wasnt getting enough world recognition for Starlink .. but I think he did deserve more world wide pats on the back.
Starlink to Ukraine WAS and IS a big deal.
Twitter - so he wants a completely unfiltered twitter, completely content neutral in censoring. So what? Let some whack o say vaccines cause genital mutilation. You as the reader are responsible for what you want to believe.
Voting for Desantis talking red wave - i vote blue but I dont care if someone votes red ...just if they vote trump/maga red then I think they are a moron but hes not saying that. he calls trump an idiot and is talking about funding a political donation for centrists.

I think we should give Elon more credit for Starlink ... I think the guy is trying to do good in this world, albeit uninvited at times.
