Depends on the issue, but I agree that on that particular issue they moved towards the lefts position.
Musk Takes Control of Twitter, Immediately Fires Top Executives
- Thread starter livingston
- Start date
They were all locked. Even if it was... banning "only one" is not free speech absolutism.
Yeah adding gender equity selection and integration, LE abolition, hardcore embrace of Socialism, bail reform & justice equity, fossil fuel abolition, media monopolization, free speech censorship, attacking parental rights and terrorist designations, suspension of liberties, forced vaccines and 2A abolition to the left end ideology can create that perception.
Edit to add: I forgot open borders, that's one they've certainly moved on. I'm sure I'm missing others. Batshit crazy is where the left has gone.

Twitter 2.0 will be far more effective, transparent and even-handed.
A lib's worst nightmare. These spoiled little brats want to take their football home now.

I still maintain he’s doing this for a lark. It’s not about free speech, he only says that to tweak the noses of the left. He bought Twitter and took it private on a whim, just because he could, and is acting just like someone who bought a new toy would.
Ergo, my bank account/schlong is bigger than yours.

But you said Musk himself did it.
Would you, could you, concede that perhaps there may be unknown extenuating circumstances to your examples, or perhaps something within the algorithm triggered the censoring? An algorithm that is still under development.
I think it is just too soon to proclaim Musk as the Anti-Christ. Give him more time and better examples to prove it. When he bans Biden, Vice, Greta Thunberg or Anthony Fauci, I'll be in full agreement with you.
Could you actually post this as a link I can follow instead of a screenshot? I'd like to see the whole threads and read the replies.
Don't know how much of a whim it was, since he did try to back out at one point.
It's possible an algorithm if he is using one did it. However he owns and controls twitter - full stop, so its actions are now his actions. It's like when your kid breaks a souvenir in a shop, you are responsible for their actions regardless and still need to pay up. I hold the owners responsible, and that's Musk in this case.
I also wouldn't care if he banned Biden if he felt like it, ban away all you want... as long as you don't claim to be a free speech absolutist. Pick one or the other, but you can't be both.

The vast majority of issues we have moved to the left.
The Democrat heros of the past would be considered far right today.

Musk is more like a heart surgeon. He has to work on the patient, while the patient is still alive and working. you can't just turn it off, fix something and then turn it back on
Musk just bought a company with 8000 employees that HATE HIM. Granted, he's whitled that down significantly, but he still has to deal with saboteurs, and WOKE people. I find he's doing an outstanding job. Hes created transparency, which is driving the left nuts. they no longer have a platform that basically says "you agree with us or we censor you" Now, there IS FREE SPEECH, you have a right to disagree, and "he left" can't stand it

Perhaps, but maybe he initially had a whim, tried to back out, then figured what the hell, let’s just send it? I know I’ve done that with impulses before….

I'd point out that they're still "left" in truth. "Centrist" is batshit left by any real standards at this point.

Why of course! We wouldn't want to see some crackhead son banging his neighbors dog. Or maybe seeing Ole Brandon sniffing Nancy where the sun don't shine....
Definitely explains some of my gun purchases.

Tim cook invited Musk to Apple HQ, they apparently had a nice conversation, Cook is now claiming he never considered dropping Twitter from the store. LOL
That all just went away.
Apple is not the only company important to China, Tesla sells A LOT of cars over there too.

I think he initially had a whim, then said "let's see what I can expose during a negotiation" and that's where all the "how many bots" thing came from.
Then they called his bluff and he's like "OK".

I just can't figure out why libs don't love this guy. SpaceX, StarLink, SolarCity, Tesla, and the latest about the Neuralink microchip

It all sounds like a liberal wet dream to me. I guess bitching just means that much to them.

So, when you try to figure out Musk's motivation for buying Twitter, remember he is this guy....
