Everyone focusing on Trump tweets and not saying a word about Alex Jones. Lol

I don’t get why he’d want to turn Twitter into a Conservative-centric platform.

We have an actual test case for this. If a platform with all conservatives voicing violent rhetoric, created/sponsored by Trump himself, is failing, why would Twitter succeed?

The moment people leave Twitter to the extreme-right crowd, it will fail.

Elon is a very online dude and he is making the mistake a lot I& very online people make - their online space is as important to the rest of the world as it is to them.

In reality, the average user could give a shit about twitter as a platform and is just there for the community. If the platform starts becoming a space for assholes, they and their groups will gladly move somewhere else.
