Elon Musk’s unspoken slogan as he sarcastically offered to buy Twitter, which would value the company at around $41.4 billion—he currently owns around 9% of Twitter's shares, making him the company’s second largest shareholder—because Twitter shares are underperforming and the platform has been restricting the propagation of politically incorrect or fake news.
Just as the Liar-in-Chief wanted to make America great again, the founder of The Boring Company wants to make Twitter free again.

Hold on, imma leave some space here so I can use both boxes if need be...
Hym "So... what constitutes 'normal?' I suppose, if you're a professor, normal discourse involves the students listening to what you have to say, doing what you tell them to do, and respecting their betters or they'll be ejected because 'I don't tolerate disrespect in my classroom.' You exchange niceties with your colleagues and maybe engage in some intellectually stimulating conversation or debate... But it always remains civil and, if it doesn't, you always have some sort of recourse (even though the dialect being wielded against me leaves me with minimal/no recourse and Dr. Jeepjorp actively engages in it and is perfectly fine with it) and you never get told to go fuck yourself...
He wants to make the world a school! Ha! That's fucking hilarious! Look, he thinks there should be a buy-in to engage in the public discourse (like a student at a college) and that those with ethos (the teachers) should hold more sway over it. That is wild! That's the endgame! The real boys and the puppets! Hahahahahahaha! Nuts. You're fucking nuts man... Hooo... How does not just devolve into free speech animal farm? And you could say 'Well, you have to earn ethos' but 70% of your peers (people with similar ethos) disagree with you. The discourse being controlled by those with higher authority is exactly how we got all the self-censorship in the first place. That's just Chomsky, man. The dregs have a responsibility to remain passive and obedient in their solipsistic gardens of Eden while the golden restructure the world at their leisure or discretion. Too much logos? Who needs rationale? You can just restrict the discourse so that only those who can afford it can speak. Jesus Christ man... 🤦 I was hoping it was the former and not the latter (if you know what I mean). Twitter Again.
