There’s a lot of options between woke hyper censorship and 4chan-like social media

We both know this has nothing to do with Apple, don’t be ridiculous…

Apple threatened to ban Twitter from the app store, Musk met with Tim Cook, deleted all his tweets critical of Apple, and then reversed his stance on moderation and banning. Sure, this has nothing to do with Apple at all...

Musk never allowed swastikas on Twitter

Musk was the one who reinstated Kanye's twitter account in the first place, despite all his "death con 3 on jews" posts. Where were these rules then?

> Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.

Musk also tweeted that the attack on Paul Pelosi was a drunk fight with a male prostitute. He isn't exactly the beacon of truth.

Well the evidence is no less sound than your conspiracy theory so there's really no way to tell.
