the cool thing about free speech is that it makes it easy to tell who the loonies are.

That line is a lot greyer than it used to be. We don't all get the same evening news anymore, we get the news that we WANT to hear in the flavor that we like. Many people do cross pundit lines to hear what everyone is saying, but the majority do not.
Recently, for example, there has been a great divide between people who "know" that face masks reduce transmissibility of certain airborne infections and people who "know" that they do no such thing. Only one of those beliefs is correct, but the vast majority of people will only go so far in their "research" to find and consume information that supports the conclusion that they wanted to hear in the first place.
Whether Twitter duMusk will step into that minefield is anyone's guess. They won't do anything to lose customers, but they might try on the assumption that it won't piss people off TOO much. Again, on Musk's assumption that inflammatory opinions that don't really harm anyone are fine, but ones that harm or risk lives are not fine. (And "in whose opinion" is the other question. Who watches the watchmen?)

i also don't think its as simple as one side being correct and the other being wrong. they both got their narratives and those are going to corrupt their facts or misrepresent those facts in a way that supports their position. its also entirely possible that both sides are wrong, or are only partially correct, or simply do not know and are making stuff up.

Yeah, I was hoping he'd change the world for the better with those companies before he went all Howard Hughes cuckoo on us, but that seems to all be happening at the same time. Still... maybe he did change the world, only it will be an electric Ford I buy instead of an electric Tesla.

I dont' think its as simple as that. People love new technologies shaking things up and being progressive. But those same folks react badly to "no one should restrict hate speech because hate speech is free speech."
Me, i just dislike the fellow because he goes off with a random comment on Twitter and stock prices skew all over the place instantly. Not only does that expose the silliness of a market based purely on expectation and perception, but its a question of whether he does it intentionally in order to profit from a short sell. No one person should have that much sway.

like when Trump got elected, I did not vote for him but jumped for joy when the main stream press was wrong lol
"Musk responded Monday morning, tweeting a meme of himself laughing in a series of four photos, with captions that read: "They said I couldn't buy Twitter, Then they wouldn't disclose bot info, Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court, Now they have to disclose bot info in court."

Essentially, he goes in to buy Twitter to make it "better" (presumably to make it more profitable). Now he's backing out because of an issue he was already aware of before even going into the deal. It's interesting to note that the tweet above seems to indicate either a deflection from the contract details or he just doesn't care (or both). It's almost as if the goal wasn't buying it in the first place.... curious.
