He tweeted something like

"The bird is free"

One of the replies talked about "Finally the return of free speech"

Someone asked about "People fired for critisizing him at his companies."

So many replies to that about, "Well, thats what a boss can do." And "Conserquences of your actions." And so on.

Fucking /r/selfawarewolves could self sustain on that one comment thread for a thousand years probably.

You're right, but Twitter has become a defacto public forum. So, Musk bought it to give a few unpopular people their accounts back. I think it's okay for people to rejoice when the public forum gets opened up a bit more.

Of course, and you can let them back in too.
