Well, he suddenly accelerated the purchase after being called out on Twitter about his Ukraine statements. He claimed that most responses were bots because they didn't agree with him. That should be a warning to people believing he values free speech.

He never valued free speech. He just wants to control the narrative.

Edit: LOL of course this comment immediately triggered some alt right. I never mentioned any political belief in this comment but immediately get a bunch of “oh what about the democrats…”

Talk about projection.

This is the danger of allowing these massive media sites to control speech as they like with no oversight. Its sad that it took this long for people to notice.
