Alternatively, Elon fucked over Elon here.

Twitter is a more liberal concept than Elon wants and what Tucker brings obviously.

The platform is shaky at best and depends on ad revenue to justify existing.

There’s no upside here given what we know of Twitter’s model and capabilities to host a large scale show.

It’ll be ratio’ed to death in the guise of free speech or Elon will have the PR joke of censoring “free speech” in defense of a useless hate-monger who will nightly violate any number of TOS rules.

Twitter likely won’t support this well given the site constraints.

Big companies will have yet another reason to jump ship in advertising so Twitter bleeds out more.

Musk gets further exposed as a right-wing troll which harms his core liberal business of electric cars.

Elon paid 44billion to destroy a company and use up all of his liberal-idea good will. It’s fucking great for anyone who views him with disdain.

people forget how few advertisers are left that will support Tucker.... -- nm - colin May 10, 06:19 2
- And it’ll be easy to ask the other Twitter advertisers “is this the free speech you support? Hate-filled lies that offend every decent group?” -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 May 10, 06:24 1
  - yep, it's one thing to say "well, we can't police every fascist on here", it's another to platform one intentionally. -- nm - colin May 10, 06:29
yeah, my oldest who can spy a Tesla from a mile away and dreamed of owning one would rather light herself on fire than buy one now - Beaker 🍺 May 10, 05:33 3
- If you buy a Tesla you might have an opportunity to do both! -- nm - Qale May 10, 08:10
- I won’t say doomed Tesla because that company has never dealt in terms of rational behavior but he’s gone out of his way shoot himself in the foot. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 May 10, 05:48 1
  - i think the announcement that self-driving is going end-to-end AI might be disastrous for tesla. -- (link) - colin May 10, 06:32
