He wants Twix to be Truth Social, but also profitable, and doesn't understand why he can't have it both ways.
Back in late 2022 I was in an argument with my (adult) nephew about how the government isn't limiting free speech on Twitter. I was explaining how "the free market" is deciding whether Elon will sink or swim. He just could not understand how the government -wasn't- responsible.
....idfk
(Yes, there were some Governmental take down requests, but none of them seemed very sus to me)
I had a similar discussion with some people at a barber shop back when Pre-Elon Twitter banned Trump. They were complaining about free speech and I asked if they knew what it actually meant (in the US). When I explained that we are ONLY guaranteed free speech from the gov't, and that Twitter was a private business and could ban whoever they want, the same way this barber shop could tell someone not to ever come back everyone got real quiet like "oh shit I have to rethink my whole world view". I actually got thanked at another time by one employee for telling them how it actually works.
That's dope. It's rare to get through to people like that.
Right Twix.
What's this got to do with Twix? I love a good Twix...
Fuck me, now I gotta go buy a Twix. And a Lion, do they still make those? God they were the best.
Raider is now Twix
Twitter is now X
Twitter X
Twix
Same same
I like Xitter still better. I dunno about his current ties to China but in Chinese you pronounce xi as shi AFAIK.
No, you pronounce it like /ɕi³⁵/
