There's been an absurd amount of drama recently at Twitter with the Twitter files drop (ongoing). All of the newfound free speech and transparency is an improvement in the right direction, but it's weak since it's still all at a centralized point of failure.
That is why I am only interested in the Web3 technology that Elon is working on that is years away.
MintDice dropped a blog post about this yesterday:

The Twitter platform has gotten a lot better since Elon Marks bought it. In the past many people have commented on the Twitter company but now Elon Marks has brought many updates. Like there were many bots in the past but now those boards are not visible on Twitter. This point was rejected by Elon Musk. But for all, this point has been very good.
I think the same - musk has a great vision although there are now 50 employee left at twitter. I am sure there are 50 teslas in making too. their sincerity should be rewarded well
Twitter has undergone many updates since Elon Musk took over the Twitter company. I have already noticed on Twitter that many updated news are now available on Twitter which would never have been available in the past had it not been for the bot posts.That's why Twitter now has many updates and many true news and in the past there were many bot posts but now there is no such system which will automatically post. I like it so much that I love twitter more.
That is correct. and I believe in Musk - he will do will like he is doing well in case of Tesla. It is rich peoples choice and people would go crazy for Tesla likewise he will bring good change in Twitter as well.

One the member above shared a screenshot which reads he fired his security incharge - I think they should be the last to be fired - security and finance person. That is the backbone of the company should not have been teased at the early stages After becoming twitter largest shareholder and now talks about buying twitter after the failed attempt, he’s now suggesting that anyone who signs up for twitter blue would get an authentication checkmark.
Personally, I think he should just leave twitter alone and start his own platform.
Hopefully his platform would be as successful as Trumps truth social. 😅
Musk has to slow down Personally, I think he should just leave twitter alone and start his own platform.

Keep some important people in hand if he has to run the company
Elon purchased Twitter and claims it's part of Project X.
Any thoughts on what this might mean in the realm of Bitcoin/crypto/web3, if any? Or just perhaps censorship in general as a theme?

We can't precisely predict what is in the mind of Elon Musk, but We can assume that he might have thought of something big, something new, and something which would be better than the existing one. So let's sit, wait and watch what comes next.
With lots of resignation - there will be good change in twitter as well

a lots of resignation since people are not ready to work under Musk supervisionAll the twitter offices are closed - I think there will be new hiring and new people with join in will bring a fresh wave to the twitter

Ever since Elon bought Twitter, many things have changed dramatically: half employees are laid off, senior executive officers are fired, users have to pay to give feedback etc. Twitter has never been the same as before. This is Elon's Project X ? Probably. I guess this is only part of what he really wants to do in the future. With what he owns and what he is capable of, I wouldn't be surprised at all if anything big happens some day.

Leaked conversations from Dept. of Homeland Security show folks at Facebook and Twitter routinely communicated with government officials to drive what sort of content was permissible on the platforms.
Included in these monthly communications/meetings was Vijaya Gadde (now fired), head of Twitter's head of Legal, Trust, and Safety, among other heads of companies from Facebook, Microsoft, etc.
When they laid out perma bans for the COVID "disinformation," part of it was government bureaucracy detailing what sort of conversations are and aren't permissible.
Per The Intercept:
Right, because the U.S. government should be dictating to all the big tech platforms how the rest of us should think on these controversial and contentious topics.
Elon can have his first amendment/pro-free speech outlook on twitter if he'd like, but if the government steps in and forces regulation then he has no option but to comply. I can only assume that he's in the cross hairs.

DHS plans to target inaccurate information on “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine.”

I have to say that my experience on Twitter has already gotten so much better since the Elon Musk takeover. I'm not seeing the bots posts after every tweet (they're still there apparently but hidden) and stupid comments by liberals that have been considered facts are now being fact checked. Biden, Clinton, Obama... It will be nice seeing corrections of facts on their ridiculous posts instead of having the truth questioned by the far left. It's like the beginning of a new world where you aren't discriminated against for saying that all lives matter or that there are 2 genders... You know, simple things that most people who "trust the science" learn before entering first grade... I love it!
This was expected if we take into account that Musk will complete the Twitter deal, which no one thought after the turmoil that occurred between Musk and the company about the percentage of fake accounts and Musk's intention to withdraw from the deal. After the transaction is completed, it is normal for the value of the Dodge coin to increase for the following reasons:
- Elon Musk has always supported this currency and says that it is a "popular currency".
- Early this year, Tesla has started accepting Dodge coin for the purchase of its electric vehicles and spare parts.
- Mask had launched this year a luxury type of perfume that can be purchased using the Dodge coin as well.
At the same time, we must not forget that what happened may be a new attempt by Elon Musk to raise the price and achieve profits from a new currency amplification process, as happened in 2021 when its price rose to 0.75 dollars, to return to decline after Musk stopped supporting it, which led to the loss of investors for a lot of money. That strategy was dubbed "Buy the Rumor, Sell the News" by analysts. See this article for better understanding.
A layer zero type protocol that will allow other projects to join. The biggest blockchain competitor to YouTube by a mile is LBRY / Odysee. That could integrate into the ATProtocol and host on BlueSky / Twitter. And then Twitter can bootstrap all of the other competitors that join on chain. And people could freely move from one protocol to the other seamlessly through a single account they control web3 style.
I think you have broad imaginations filled with optimism about the future of YouTube and Facebook. Do you really think that it is easy to establish a simulation system capable of competing with these two giants? Do you have an understanding of how much this will cost and how long it will take? Of course, taking into account that both companies will not take any step to limit or prevent this from happening.
Elon Musk's priority when putting $44 billion to complete the deal cannot be to destroy his rivals in the most sophisticated way. There is a lot that can be done and a lot of profits that can be reaped at different levels, including in the political arena, which lags behind the management of politicians on social media platforms.
I never said it would be easy. But this is in fact what Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have already said they are literally doing. So place your own bets on the markets for yourself in alignment with your version of reality.
I seriously doubt that Doge will be front and center.
Market begs to differ.
Idk if you're joking or being intellectual dishonest but I'm talking about the actual Twitter UI. That probably isn't getting integrated any time soon. Many bigger fish to fry for the moment.
Short term DOGE price speculation I never made any comment on.

Dogecoin is on an absolute tear as it seems like the market is expecting Elon to integrate payments into Twitter with Dogecoin being the preferred method. This is pretty huge if it happens and I’m sure Doge fans are over the moon right now. I think this is one of the more impressive stories in crypto at the moment and am very curious how Elon sets up crypto integration with Twitter and of Bitcoin will also be a highlighted option.
@BADecker, Trump doesn't necessarily have to pick. He could have his platform synced so that a post in once place gets repeated on the other. I don't know if it's set up this way or not currently, but there's no reason it couldn't be.
Overall though, yeah, the move has to be a net negative for Truth Social.
The re-skinned socials with no new technology are going to get wrecked. The technologies with innovation over web2 have more fire power, at least in theory.
