Can't help but smile.

Shows up for me.

Here's the text of it in case others can't see it:

> Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints.

> No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.

Did you block him? I still see the tweet. Maybe he got selectively shadowbanned :-)

Twitter's had a few technical issues today (huh.) and I've had the same with other tweets. If you reload you should see it.

Twitter does that occasionally. Just reload the page until it works.

I don't think they've ever had more than 2 9s of reliability.

personally I think he's going to try to grow it, but if he's smart a competitor to youtube along with the social media portion would be a huge move that twitter is actually positioned well to pivot to.

  My prediction is he ends up growing twitter into a fairly bland chat/communications app/social network, and the focus on global political and social debates slowly weans over time.

So far Musk's brought back a very high profile antisemite (Ye) and a bunch of others took the hint to return to Twitter. I'm pretty sure bland isn't the right word.

  "Elon now controls twitter. Unleash the racial slurs. K---S AND N-----S," said
  one account, using slurs for Jews and Black people. "I can freely express how
  much I hate n-----s . . . now, thank you elon," another said.

  Some of the Twitter influx was organized on other platforms, including the pro-Trump
  forum TheDonald, where its top posts Friday morning showed tweets celebrating lies
  about Trump's 2020 election loss and memes criticizing transgender people under the
  headline "When you can't get banned on Twitter anymore."

My prediction is Musk flails about, burns a pile of money, and decimates any goodwill his associated companies (e.g. SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink) currently have.

Musk earlier today he didn’t bring Kanye back. I mean he’s certainly riling up the dregs of humanity and now not like a good person but I don’t think he’s going to burn 44 bil

I hope you’re right.

This morning NY Daily News was claiming Ye was allowed back. It'd be nice if that were wrong or has since been redacted, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

As for Musk, he's playing with other people's money. At that scale he can afford to tell the American banks to go fuck themselves. The foreign investors are probably cheering on this nonsense. The Saudis want pro-oil republicans, the Russians are going to relish the chaos, and at the very least the Chinese will cheer on the loss of a TikTok competitor. There aren't a lot of guardrails here.

Really the Ye thing doesn’t matter because I under minded my own argument :-) I think all those terrible things are coming but he’s going to thread the needle around discoverability to make it palatable. Too much chaos isn’t good for anyone even bad actors if the site becomes irrelevant, but we’ll see, I’m not super convinced youre wrong. Maybe Twitter has enough momentum to stay in the public eye in spite of itself.
