Is this myserious “X” plan related to the earlier article involving “Everything app”?
Look up the “Everything up” which suggests this could be in line for the social credit score system. Elon Musk a Trojan Horse in the guise of free speech?
Musk recently promoting that Taiwan become a special admin region of China! I do not like Musk and do not trust him.
This is the latest thoughts on what is “X” as many are referring it as.
He’s now under investigation?? It twitter a bait to destroy Elon?
Just over night, many people on twiiter are reporting lost followers. Apparently the purge has begun just in time and right before elections.

Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter takeover is expected to close one week from today, with both sides privately expressing confidence. But of course, it can’t be quite that straightforward.
State of play: Twitter shares this morning opened at $50 per share, which is more than $4 below the price Musk agreed to pay. That means either the confidence is misplaced, or there is some very easy money to be made right now.
- The stock dive seems tied to a Bloomberg report from late yesterday, claiming that the Biden administration may launch a national security review of certain Musk ventures. Included could be Twitter, ostensibly due to equity co-investments from foreign entities.
- National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson tells Axios that “we do not know of any such discussions.” In theory, CFIUS could be working independently on this, but Biden himself would have to approve any pre-merger block, and time is running short.
Elsewhere: There’s also a Washington Post story about Musk planning massive Twitter layoffs. This tracks with what I’m hearing about Musk operating as if he’s about to own the company.
- WaPo also reports that Twitter would implement big cuts of its own were it to remain independent, although a subsequent company memo says that it hasn’t developed any layoff plans since the Musk deal was signed in May.
The bottom line: No deal is ever over until it’s over. But that maxim is even more acute in this case.

I noticed on my account disappearing acts too.
I heard he is about to lay off 7000 workers once he takes over, leaving only about 2000 workers left to run things. Maybe those accounts will come back once he finalizes the deal. Who knows?

The Great Twitter Censorship Debate: Free Speech vs. “Hate Speech”
In the age of social media, platforms like Twitter have become increasingly important in terms of both connecting people and disseminating information. However, these platforms have also come under fire for censoring certain types of content, particularly so-called “hate speech.” So, where does Twitter stand on the issue of censorship? Let’s take a look at the arguments for and against censorship to try and get a better understanding of this complex issue.
Arguments For Censorship
Those who argue in favor of censorship on Twitter typically do so on the grounds of safety and protecting vulnerable groups from harassment or abuse. In other words, they believe that some types of speech should be restricted in order to create a more pleasant and inclusive environment for all users. Others argue that, as a private company, Twitter has every right to censor content as it sees fit in order to uphold its own standards and values.
Arguments Against Censorship
On the other side of the debate are those who believe that censorship on Twitter (or any platform) is a form of stifling free speech. They argue that everyone should be allowed to express their opinions freely without fear of backlash or retribution. After all, if we can’t voice our opinions on social media, where can we voice them? Furthermore, many believe that attempts at censoring “hate speech” often backfire, as they simply give more attention to the very thing they’re trying to silence.
Wrap-Up
At the end of the day, there is no easy answer to the question of whether or not Twitter should censor content. On the one hand, it’s important to protect vulnerable groups from abuse and harassment; on the other hand, it’s important to allow people to express their opinions freely. It’s a complex issue with no clear solution. What do you think? Should Twitter (or any social media platform) be a place for free speech or should it be censored?
