That was prescient. Apparently it was the suspension of the Babylon Bee that spurred Elon’s purchase.

(Sorry, I can’t get the preview to work. That tweet is from the guy who owns the Bee)

This is an interesting read on the situation:

Twitter put Elon Musk on the board so he wouldn’t pull another Tesla
Board seat includes deal that will keep Musk from amassing more than 15% of stock and attempting to take over company, as Tesla CEO did to gain control of the electric-car maker

People forget that Elon didn’t really create Tesla.

So the spin is that Twitter is really really clever?

WSJ: LTwitter Inc. CEO Parag Agrawal on Sunday night tweeted that billionaire Elon Musk has decided he will no longer join the company’s board of directors.

The reversal comes after Mr. Musk spent a weekend tweeting criticism about the social-media company.”

Perfect. He still owns the largest shares of company stock and if they annoy him enough - he can buy the rest and make the changes he wants.

Some say this was his plan all along.

What a wonderful role model.

Musk is a vile person. I don't care about how people feel about his business/tech contributions (and I'm much more ambivalent/negative than most people I know)...his public persona is not a positive influence on any one. Lucky for us he's an immigrant, or I could totally see him running for POTUS.

If right wing pundits get their accounts back then my left wing pundit account should also be unsuspended. Otherwise it's all a farce.

They are not going to stop until Twitter is singularly advocating a right wing narrative. Twitter - while having massive issues - actually tried to push back against online harassment/bullying/swarming and misinformation; whereas Facebook didn’t do jacksh#t and just let it fester in pursuit of ad dollars.

Just wait and see.
