Shortly after announcing his intent to acquire Twitter Mr. Musk laid out his vision: “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”
Town halls occur in one place - town halls. Everyone at the town hall must listen to everything being said, to include opposing viewpoints. This tends to bring people together.
You know, sort of the opposite of what occurs on Twitter, where people choose to read only that which supports their own viewpoints thus dramatically amplifying divisiveness and anger.
If Mr. Musk is really that naïve, or clueless, is it any wonder he is about to single-handedly destroy the world's largest social media platform?
Mr. Musk has exhibited genius over the years, possessing a spectrum of brilliance. But understanding people - be it on social media, his own employees, or society in general – does not appear to be on his spectrum.
Mr. Musk, you want to save Twitter? - leave.
