I have a question - if Elon succeeds in buying twitter, will his concept of a free and trusted public square save civilization, as he claims, or will it turn Twitter into a toxic wasteland?
I think the right-wing conspiracy nuts are salivating at being given free reign to post whatever toxic shit they can imagine. Any platform that makes money off "engagement" will have algorithms that maximize the toxicity (or will be gamed by bad actors to guarantee that the worst crap will show up in everyone's feed).
Just look at the 24-hour news channels.
