So Musk is going ahead with the 44 billion dollar purchase of Twitter.

He must have very poor research. Has no one told him? Its completely free on the Play store

He's all about column inches. Might be compensating for a lack of them elsewhere

When folk claiming they are liberals are claiming an increase of free expression is a bad thing, you know they are eating themselves.

His ego is off the charts. Apparently he was a guest of Rupert Murdoch's at the last Super Bowl. He tweeted best of luck to one of the teams as did Biden. Musk barely watched the game after that. He got angrier and angrier as he saw how many more views and likes Biden was getting compared to him.  He got in touch with his senior engineering team and left for the office before the game had finished.  He called in the team of engineers to try and work out how this happened.

They ended up creating an algorithm designed to give his tweets a higher priority than anyone else's..

What a prick!

On the other hand I did read it on twitter so looks like he really is a proponent of free speech

He's a hard man to like, but I do respect what he's done with SpaceX.
