Why are democrats worried about Musk buying Twitter?

Today was a good day.

Remember the time trump said he would start a new social media platform but did not post in it, only to see the platform’s value plummet with musk buying twitter?

Asking for investors that got flleeced.

Good times.

Conserva s couldn't even quit Twitter with the old ownership... c'est la vie...

If you keep retweeting and copypasta spamming this forum with your twitter propaganda, you're a traitor.

For all of Twitter's back-patting about banning people for public safety, it was really about creating a safer advertising space. Advertisers don't like running their message in a cesspool.

I expect the real-human Twitter activity to increase in the short term, but I don't see Fortune 500 companies spending more on a Twitter dominated by alt-right conspiracy peddlers. It's not coincidental that Twitter's ad revenue actually went down the first year of Trump's presidency and increased exponentially in 2021 when they really whipped out the ban stick.

And the effort to ban spambots would be great for users, if it's actually doable and if it actually happens. But the drawback of that for Twitter is it will cut a lot of their audience and impressions numbers, and plenty of advertisers won't know the difference between bot/human traffic and impressions (or care).

Take all of this combined with the natural aging of the Twitter userbase and you've got a much less desirable space for advertisers. Musk is going to have to find a way to generate more revenue from the data sharing side of the ad space. And seeing as he's already buying Twitter at a premium, it's hard to imagine the stock being higher than it is right now when the hype dies down. But fortunately for him he can afford a $43 billion rebound/mid-life crisis hobby.

Twitter banned people for ideological reasons.

[spurraider21]

Today was a good day.

you could always have tweeted those things and not have gotten banned

celebrating your ability to do things that you already could do

[ChumpDumper]

Today was a good day.

Old ownership didn't mind either.

BTW, that's the guy who says he has all the Seth Rich information.

Why is he hiding it from you, Nathan?

[spurraider21]

Twitter banned people for ideological reasons.

which ideologies?

[Nathan89]

Banning conservative satire was the only way to appease the ad buyers.

[spurraider21]

just waiting for nadolf to accuse musk of going woke when his account gets banned for constant spamming of racial slurs

[ChumpDumper]

Twitter banned people for ideological reasons.

Give several specific examples.

God, I hope Trump goes back on Twitter. It would be so ing great for Democrats.

Twitter is still going to have rules. I just expect it to be a better platform for the success of our country.

what tweets will make our country succeed?

[Nathan89]

what tweets will make our country succeed?

For starters the platform helped swing the election and got us to where we are.

[Trill Clinton]

Today was a good day.

He could've tweeted this last week

[ChumpDumper]

For starters the platform helped swing the election and got us to where we are.

Explain just how that happened.

You make claim after claim with nothing to back it up.

This isn't twitter. You're not limited or censored by big tech. Step up.

muh Trump is getting his bullhorn back

Honestly it really doesn't matter at this point. It's been hilarious watching you gots and all your butthurt over him losing it...and watching him fail at trying to start his own version only for it to fail like he did against Biden. Enjoy having him back.
