Because we need more disinformation about gender affirming care which is designed to provoke death threats from mentally deficient MAGA/QAnon cultists?

There needs to be a new platform that is owned by a consortium of media companies for the purposes of breaking news and analysis. Even the most fact-based stories get taken over by trolls and bots if the story doesn't align with whatever narrative the trolls are pushing.
Media companies are not going to throw good money after bad building yet another toxic social media platform overrun with the rantings of racists, morons and sociopaths.

The Saudis already had a stake in Twitter and pledged a few more billion in equity to Musk for his takeover.
But yeah, it's basically "all of the above." Chinese pitched in too through Binance.
The best thing to do at this point is let Twitter die, cancel your accounts, and don't give them any traffic. There will be new upstarts.

Just read in a Reuters article that cryptocurrency and NSFW content are the fastest growing topics of interest among English speaking “heavy users” of twitter, with adult content constituting 13% of Tweets.
That’ll spike under Musk for sure.

Already canceling people. What a hypocrite.
Employers can't fire employees now? They still have Twitter accounts, they aren't canceled.
When Google fired James Damore and Kevin Cernekee, we heard endless complaints from conservatives about being canceled. Apparently that rule only protects conservatives.
I expect this will piss off about half of the left. But as a business strategy, being a platform that censors most conservative ideas and a lot of other assorted ideologies is not going to turn a profit. Even among the left, ideological censorship is not completely embraced. Many regular, traditional democrats have no interest in censorship and wont punish twitter for allowing right wing ideas. So overall, Twitter will earn a lot more after this change, and the employees who remain will enjoy the profits.
It doesn’t “censor most conservative ideas,” it censors some of the racist and misogynist cesspool. If your ideas are getting censored, perhaps it’s that conservative thought is a dank hole of stupidity and bad people.
umm, in 2022 that means censoring conservative ideas
The Federalist writers just advocated for transgender people to be arrested for existing.
That’s now what constitutes “conservatives ideas.”
Who else do conservatives want to lock up?
