Is this literally the reason he bought Twitter though? To stop censor ship of the platform? And goes and does it in one of the absolute worst kind of ways. 1 Link to comment

It was inflammatory, but Elon has had a few instances now where he said one thing to appear positive towards Ukraine and did the opposite (see starlink). I'd agree he's not a "Putinist", but he is a shady businessman. 1 1 Link to comment

Probably more so the cash flow. 2 2 Link to comment

That could affect cash flow. So, censoring tweets about the war is remaining neutral? I think not. 2 Link to comment

That little tidbit of this thread was more so trying to squash the label of him being a “putinist”. Censoring tweets goes beyond the Ukraine-Russian war and is IMO..wrong. Link to comment

I wonder what the logic behind that is. Is Ukraine/Russia no longer interesting to the Twitter masses? Is he indeed a “Putin supporter”? I would think for him top priority is making money. 1 Link to comment
