    1. @Pantera fan Loco thing is, billionaires owned and controlled Twitter even before Musk, just yesterday, but this fact doesn’t fit into your worldview and somehow now you find it a problem… very interesting

    2. @HungrySanta how does billionaires owning have to do with “my worldview”? I’m just saying for what it is.

    3. I will be able to write what I want, offensive or not, you don’t have to read it, it’s called a free society, anything less is authoritarian

    4. @Pantera fan Loco “it’s nothing genius. Every billionaire can own anything.”… nothing to do with your original reply, but go off habs legend

    1. @Pantera fan Loco actions have consequences, they may be related to speech but it takes an action, period.

  1. This is her version of “here say” they don’t know if that will happen. Elon is moderately changing it base on your own preferences.

    1. Around the time paid content was introduced, you know…. when the products and businesses became the news, but they made it look like a story.

    1. This is what happens when you spend years in college getting an “analytics” degree. You show up on news shows because you don’t have a job to go to and you whine about problems you created to justify occupying the broadcast.

  2. I can’t wait to pick on everyone and say whatever I want and they can’t do s*** all about it I love it

  3. Of course when they are not in control they defame and criticize saying all kinds of terrible things. Go gettem Elon.
