So big news a few days ago about Elon Musk making a 3 billion dollar investment into Twitter, which made him a member of their board of directors. The Tesla CEO stated that he will be making “significant improvements” to the social media platform in the near future (hopefully it involves adding a Twitter dislike button), and this has some employees a little concerned since Elon actually has the power to make some changes because he was declared Twitter’s biggest shareholder.
Elon Musk is an advocate for freedom of speech and he states that he’ll be making changes to the community guidelines to solve Twitter’s many censorship issues that have been apparent for the last few years, and this has some of the Twitter employees and Puritans worried. I’ve said before that the Twitter Puritans have hijacked “Woke Culture” and cancel culture to control the narrative of the media by forcing their ideals on the rest of society and bullying people who share a different opinion. I can only predict that these changes might come in the form of altering the report tweet function to make it so the tweets reported actually deserve to be put on the spot, for example:
It’s people like Adam Sessler who are nervous that their liberal/leftist privilege won’t be able to protect them on Twitter anymore because of Elon. It’s about time that these Puritan bullies get some justice served to them on a silver platter, and I’ll be sitting on the sidelines with a bucket of popcorn to enjoy the show. We also have the possibility of an edit button being implemented to the app, which would be incredibly useful if I accidentally make a spelling error in my tweets, and the way it was announced was hilarious.
Purposely misspelling “yes” and “no” in a poll asking if we want an edit button is a genius marketing. Of course there are concerns that some users may misuse this possible new feature, such as changing the entire message of their original tweet and the likes and retweets still being connected to said tweet after the change. What could be done is to maybe have a timer for how long you have to edit your tweet, and it could be set to one minute after posting the original tweet.
At the end of the day, Elon seems like a man true to his word about his changes for Twitter’s future. People will still argue on the social media app regardless of what he does, but hopefully people will have more freedom and security arguing with the Twitter Puritans without the fear of getting reported and banned over bullshit community guideline breaches.
