One of the richest man in the world controlling one of the biggest social media platforms... The amount of user data now Musk owns is scary. Need to see how it will be used.
This will go so well... /s

Joke: I can see one day whether you want it or not:
Twitter feeds in your Tesla's car screen.
I would like to see what Thunderf00t would say about that.
I remembering him being obsessive and critical of Elon Musk in his videos.

Given that he would take it private, there is a good chance he just runs it into the ground. He can say FU to FTC and they are powerless to do anything, but he will have a rude awakening when he meets authorities in other countries.
CatalinaWOW:
It is amusing that there seems to be wide agreement that he will ruin or misuse it. There is almost no agreement on what he will do wrong, but just about everyone is sure their ox will be gored.
I'm not a Twitter user so I have no idea what might be right or wrong now, or what might be fixed or broken. Perhaps Justin Bieber will lose thousands of followers. Or something else horrific. It is interesting that what appears to be a very modest communication application has achieved such importance.
Bud:
Maybe he wants it as an investment and will resell after some years.
