Yishan Wong , the CEO of Reddit until 2012 have tweeted a long thread about how Musk doesn't understand the current state of moderation necessary because he was much more involved with an earlier Internet. But I am of opinion that Yishan is also behind as one half of the debaters simply left facts and reality behind. This post here is an example.

Shareholding is not democratic. It is one-dollar-one-vote and therefore plutocratic rather than democratic.

(I was going to say it also involves too much money to be lefty, but then I realise that just might be my Overton window and isn’t necessarily related to what you think “lefty” means).

The massive and immediate shift from "It's a private company and they can do what they want" to chanting in unison "This is a danger to our democracy" has been horrifying to watch.

I don't own a TV, and yet I can tell you what the chiron said this morning, nearly verbatim. Ask anyone who watched it.
