Now, more than ever, Elon Musk is my hero. He's like the hero of a Robt. Heinlein novel, able to succeed in private enterprise where goverment had failed.
What was the deal with that Saudi prince who said he would never sell out to Musk? Then there was the poison pill and now the Saudi prince is tendering to Musk? Feels like there's some sort of soap opera going on in the background, just out of view.
I don't know how much "free speech" you can have on a world-scale platform that's a sitting duck for attacks by posturing bureaucrats, but at least Musk now gets to continue Dorsey's good fight. Whatever happened to the Trumpists who forced Dorsey out for censoring their leader?
It's going to be interesting. Tesla valuation is down $1B. I read a reporter who spoke with the CEO of Gab who said he spent most of his time working on censorship/privacy policies. Elon has now six companies under his belt, I wonder if he knows how much he's bitten off.
