> Now that Elon owns twitter, and free speech will be defended

I lul'd


Twitter needs to make money. Either if sheds staff, charges ordinary people, or accepts advertising. Shedding staff will only reduce costs not boost real income.

Do you honestly believe the growth trend is there? Do you believe it's capital investment and network and development costs can be shrunk?

Facebook is in decline, has been for over 10 years. Why do you believe Twitter is on an upward line?

Google announced a 25% revenue drop this reporting season I believe. If true, isnt that indicative of a shrinkage in global advertising revenue?

So what's twiiters path to revenue and profits?


The best case scenario is that Elon runs out of money to fund the money losing machine that is Twitter, and we can all finally stop using the damn site.


> and free speech will be defended

When people say this I just assume you're wanting to spit hate speech and vitriol
