Compared to Facebook and TikTok, Twitter seems to be less favorable but has for long being the opinion ground for the likes of Elon and ex president Donald Trump.
Now, believe me I'm happy Twitter is being bought by someone so ostensibly pro-free speech as Elon Musk, but man....I would have busted one in my pants if he'd purchased Youtube instead. As far as social media platforms go, Twitter is extremely popular and one that IMO needs to be overhauled. But seeing as how I don't use it and
do watch videos on YT quite a bit, it would have probably made creators on that site a lot less skittish about what they say and what topics they can and can't cover.
But still I'm pleased with this. Maybe soon Twitter will become less of a left-wing stronghold, but we'll see. Elon Musk is not only impulsive, he's unpredictable, so it's anyone's guess as to what changes are going to be made.
I doubt Google's Alphabet Inc want to sell their golden egg, Youtube. Even a share seems unlikely. Twitter has been shit for years. You, me and a lot of sensible people wouldn't go to Twitter at all. As someone said, the place had a bunch of woke craps and blue hair landwhale that come to offensive from anything. A good reason why Twitter wants a sellout rather than keep operating that site.
Elon Musk has a noble goal for Twitter, to push for it to become more open, more freedom of speed after the takeover. So maybe he did see the potential of the site after that and willing to keep on the purchase. His criticism of Twitter because the place is full of bots is valid too. No wonder he halts the purchase at that concern, to lower the initial price.
