So if this actually happens...what is he going to do with it? Would love to know how he selects his lieutenants and makes sure they have the same values he does - no way he'll have time to do all the work required to base Twitter in addition to everything else.

Already looking forward to the melt from the blue checks for Trump's first tweet once he is back on the platform.

1. Probably make their algorithm and policy public and take away the power of the little soy they/thems who work there to ban people at their discretion.
2. Spend his time eliminating the bots.
3. Find a way to make a lot of money.

I'm sure the Muslims in Saudi Arabia are thrilled.
The double irony in this to me is that the Saudi money is...after all, oil money. Free speech, oil money, climate change, BEV plant using a rapacious amount of precious metals.

Hey, at least the Saudi Tesla plant should have plenty of solar power, presumably populated with 'temporary' workers from Africa/Philippines etc. (Saudi's do NOT do manual labor.) I wonder if they will put it in/around that economic zone/corridor the crown prince was partnering with Israel on.

It's all too damn funny. He turned down Bill Gates about climate change investments because he is shorting Tesla stock, then...partners with the Saudi's to try to end Twitter censorship.

I can't think of anything better to help the right leaning moderate voters go to camp DeSantis when Trump is back in Twitter. That'll be a good thing indeed.

Trump wont be back on Twitter until Truth Social folds. So should be about a week.

With as visible he's been for the past two years, on newer issues that just make sense, one can but hope.

Timing is everything in politics. If his wife is still in remission, and his team see's a window/path to the nomination, I would absolutely expect him to. I'd personally love to vote for the guy.

If Talcum X is against it, you know it's right.

He is such a pansy-assed racist.

I guess he believes that no one is capable of independent thought, that they are all nothing more than who their parents were.

Elon obviously going to add race to user profile so he can censor appropriately.

I don't agree with him about Elon, but that aside, isn't that everyone's definition of free speech? Speech everyone agrees with doesn't need to be protected.

Literally Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard all still use Twitter.

I think they will announce a deal today/tomorrow, but the legal review/process etc. will take over a month.

The operative question then becomes when the board changes, and when the management team does from there. My swag is that is a 90-180 day process, though I am guessing Elon could become a board member in the next few weeks. Curious as to what others have to say.
