Maybe he is hoping some of them will espouse the virtues of EVs. Is the demographic of Tesla owners shifting?

I guess Elon held a vote on Xitter to see if Alex Jones should come back, and the cesspool voted in the affirmative. Nice community you've got going there, Elon.
Isnt that guy panhandling under a bridge yet?

I can't imagine any company advertising on Twitter these days, in the last month my feed has just become a vast sea of people shooting each other and world star hip hop fights, a crap tom of racism and weird medieval religious debate, none of which I have looked for or clicked on, I have no idea what the algorithm is up to but it isnt working, the site has become an utter cesspool

I always imagined your algorithm would be full of footy highlights and the odd hooligan brawl. Whenever I read your posts I literally read them with an English accent

Never a tactical nuclear missile around when you need one.

Of course not. Criticize away if you feel it's worth the energy.

Well what difference does it make if it’s a privately owned company?

Remember when users like Jones, Trump, ect were banned from Twitter, which started a conversation on free speech rights?

The common justification used, and rightfully so, was that it's a privately owned platform and as such they can decide who can say what on their platform.

Has nothing to do with the shielding of critique. Fire away. Only that they will decide who may or may not use their privately owned platform.

Not really, because it was publicly traded from 2013-2022 and only again became private when Musk acquired the platform.

Point to where anyone said X shouldn’t be allowed to choose who can use their platform.
