    The town square in real life has real life consequences. There is a difference between calling someone an idiot, and harassing someone else. Harassing someone because of disability, skin color, sexual orientation or gender. In the town square real life you get a fine. Or if you go around stalking someone else , bullying them and making their life miserable you get a large fine or go to jail. If we are talking about free speech, we should also talk about the real life consequences of the real life town square. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

      2. I'm sick of leftists and those who lick the bumholes of power use the line "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences". If the consequence for having the wrong opinion is losing your job, being blacklisted, having accounts shut down, being denied a passport, being jailed etc. then you don't have free speech at all. Harrassment, threats, libel and suchlike are covered by law. Opinions absolutely should be free from consequence and they're currently not.

    The Twitter board played him.Nobody else wanted it. He made an offer they felt was too low,so they pretended to adopt a poison pill. When he upped the offer to $45 BILLION,they took the money and signed a contract because they knew that the next day the profit reports were coming out and they had LOST money. It's already lost 6% in two days, and he overpaid for a company that was on the brink of failure because the advertisers aren't buying ad space. He's still $22 BILLION dollars short of the cash to buy Twitter,so he has to sell Tesla stock to complete the deal. That's why Tesla stock fell 12% yesterday. He may be smart on making cars,but he hasn't figured out the wolves of Wall Street.

So why allow a bunch of data zombies dictate the terms what is to be twitted or not? Let everything hit the fan and everything in twitter will die out b/c it is nothing but a lie: an error.
