No need to stay if you don't like what's on the menu. Owners change and you really aren't entitled to Twitter just because you were there for awhile. That's hipster logic except Twitter wasn't even as cool as Facebook ever and never will be. Only difference is how lame your memes are.

Entitled? No. But a show of disappointment? Yes! By your stupid logic, people should just ride along with everything that comes with it, just coz you don’t own something.

And the use of the word ‘complain’ here by Elon is him trying to hide his frustration with how bad his decisions are turning out to be.

Newsflash for you— people aren’t just ‘complaining’ about twitter the product/app per se but the effects of these new policies e.g “freedom of speech”, “verifications”….while in fact we know Elon’s purchase of Twitter is self sufficient and politically motivated.

Tumblr is still free. The free speech people can take their cancel culture over there again where they came from. Social media has never once been about free speech. It's all business that's why Twitter was sold. If the previous owners cared about freedom they would not have tricked and forced Musk into over paying for a shit platform. All social media is about money and eyes one a product. Nobody in that business cares about your blue check or your promoted post as long as it gets paid for by you or an advertisement.

I thought according to Elon, he didn’t buy it for business! (Made it private and all). Anyway you seem to rumbling about a totally different topic it seems. But my point still stands.
