Regardless of your political views, think we can all agree that Elon Musk is the most successful African American in history.

80% of all accounts on Twitter are bots and or fake. That's just a little worse than Tinder.

[fcalin]

It is not about the free speach, it is about breaking the terms of use. So the whole thing is a sham.

[dsgriffin]

No talking of AOC kicking out the migrants in her district?

[icausedbidenflation]

I noticed CNN never covers anything that has to do with Joe Biden 😂😂 what a way to support their own president

[phantomthief]

Lol she def doesn’t use Twitter like the average person does. She seems very off-base about her view on how people use Twitter

[williamgleaton]

I already blocked Twitter months ago, it's becoming a trash bin.

[jaymass]

I won't be on Twitter, but I love seeing liberals freaking out over Elon buying it.

[Joellarainbow]

Free speech is extremely important, we need to make a law that makes these social media sites not have the right to censor the news or people.

[lukasmurch]

Free Speech and Censorship-free does not mean the same thing. Elon wants Twitter to be censorship-free.

[andrew.agnesaranda]

She doesnt know what free speech means? Lmao wow

[Rockhoundingcolorado]
