Musk 'should not decide' how to run Twitter

What in the actual frick? It's HIS Company and he can do whatever the hell he pleases with it. This fricking Lunatic Liberals have lost their minds

quote:

Conservatives on Wednesday ripped Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., for her stern takedown of Elon Musk, in which she insisted that he "should not decide how millions of people communicate with each other" via his newly-purchased social media company, Twitter.

Warren suggested that Musk, as "one human being," has too much power over the platform and therefore speech. Critics of the Democratic lawmaker insisted, however, that she’s really just unhappy it’s not her or her ideological allies that run Twitter.

Warren made her comments to FOX Business reporter Hillary Vaughn while on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. Vaughn asked Warren whether Democrats had been picking on Musk over his handling of the platform, to which the senator curtly replied, "Elon Musk is doing just fine."

When pressed on whether "users have a right to freedom of speech, even if what they’re saying is wrong or offensive," the lawmaker referred to Musk, suggesting his ownership of the company puts free speech in danger.

"I think that one human being should not decide how millions of people communicate with each other, and it doesn't make any difference who that human being is. One human being should not be able to go into a dark room by himself and decide, 'Oh, that person gets heard from, that person doesn't.' That's not how it should work," Warren asserted.

Musk’s plans for Twitter have not included silencing users, however. He recently agreed to restoring previously banned accounts, and he reversed a Twitter COVID-19 policy that resulted in the suspension of over 11,000 accounts since 2020.

The only policy Musk has proposed for dealing with hate-filled posts is to limit their reach, not remove them or suspend the accounts posting them.

People like Chief Spreading Bull don't really believe in the concept of private property.

Except for themselves, of course.

It's really a shame that it's only "conservatives" ripping into her over this. It ought to be anybody with a scintilla of common sense.

Dorsey was "one human being" too. And he crammed his ideology right down on everyone to deafening silence from Elizabeth Warren.

The rules only apply to others when it serves their own personal agendas.

That's the (D) in "it's Different"

"Rules for thee, but not for me!"

Basically she, like most politicians, believe that governments should determine which opinions are allowed. Our government can control Twitter here, and the EU can control Twitter in Europe.

Senator Warren, did you know that Elon allowed more people to decide what goes on Twitter by simply allowing Free speech?

it was the prior culture at Twitter that censored many americans...that's not okay...

we only need one person to keep the free speech gate open...so the people can be the people in charge

now kindly retire or shut up with your liberal nonesense

Privately held company. BITCH.

He paid that much specifically to be able to do whatever the frick he wanted within legal rules, not having to answer to exterior shareholders.

Liawatha didn't have a problem with Twitter when Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal were running the company.
