Seems like there was some sort of "Elon will save us" thread on the old site.

I’m so thankful that I don’t read Tweets anymore. But now that may change, soon I may once again be subjected to Trump’s Tweets that end up everywhere somehow. But this is how it must be I suppose. We will have to listen to all sorts of views, even really dumb ones. Then they must be confronted and countered with intelligence instead of bans. It’s hard work, and rarely does it help the most ardent of liars who have convinced themselves of their own lies, but that’s just the way it is. The hope is that those on the edge will be swayed rightly by objective truth.

I'm not looking forward to any new variants of the Trump Derangement Virus.

There's got to be an easier way to get our schools back, our economy upright, peace in the world, respect from our allies, and our borders secure.

The Elon Musk attempt to takeover Twitter is quite a Robin Hood story. Taking our tweets from the hands of elitists and billionaires and giving freedom back to the people.

.... only Musk is also a major billionaire. So maybe it's a Batman story..... Yeah.

A Batman and Robin Hood story.
