Die pompbak doet al onmiddelijk dienst.Musk doet nooit iets voor niks.
We vernemen hoe een aanzienlijk deel van de bestaande Twitter leiding doorgespoeld wordt.

En straks komt een groot deel van het personeel aan de beurt....

Zoiets denkt Musk na te streven, neem ik aan, linkje van half jaar geleden:

In the latest of a series of tweets about the platform Musk hopes to take into private ownership, the world’s wealthiest person suggested he would not seek to politicise Twitter.

“For Twitter to deserve public trust it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally,” he tweeted yesterday evening.

In earlier comments, Musk has been outspoken about his desire to promote free speech on Twitter, saying that he is “against censorship that goes far beyond the law”.

“If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect,” Musk added. “Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.”

His statements have been interpreted as criticism of Twitter’s existing moderation policies, particularly those that have affected the US right. The former president Donald Trump was banned from the social network in 2021 for his role in encouraging the storming of the US Capitol, while Greene had her personal account permanently suspended after breaking the platform’s five-strike rule.

But Musk has argued that his changes would affect all users. “Attacks are coming thick and fast, primarily from the left, which is no surprise,” he said, in a reply to the rightwing media personality Ben Shapiro. “However, I should be clear that the right will probably be a little unhappy too. My goal is to maximise area under the curve of total human happiness, which means the ~80% of people in the middle.”
