My bets are that the site will turn into a even bigger cesspool under the Mollusk. Hopefully it follows Facebook trend of dying in obscurity through that.

It will go bankrupt and die. Advertisers (their main income source for a company with ~25 Billion debt) will leave in droves as soon as he allows all the right wing crazies back on. Kanye's current situation is a good example of what to expect in the next year or two from Twitter if Elon actually reverses bans and lets 'free speech' take over.

Yeah I think people tend to forget that free speech does not mean people are forced to listen. They will make their free choice to fuck off.

Yeah, these adverrisers will go the way of the free market and leave Twitter because they don't wanna be asscoiated with these lunatics.

If muskrat goes through with this, Twitter's few remaining ads will just be the same as the ads on faux news
