A few of the un-bannings have begun

And they have locked down the source code so that no changes by any angry workers can be done. :laugh:

Twitter Locks Down Product Changes Following Musk Takeover — Tucker Carlson and Babylon Bee Accounts Reinstated

Twitter finally agreed to Elon Musk’s offer on a takeover bid deal for $44 billion on Monday.

Twitter was reportedly re-examining Elon Musk’s $43 billion takeover supply after the billionaire lined up financing for the bid over the weekend. They reached an agreement for $44 billion on Monday.

Twitter is well-known for stifling, censoring and banning free speech in America. Twitter silenced The Gateway Pundit, Joe Hoft, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones and even the President of the United States. Only conservatives get banned. There should be laws against this.

Elon Musk previously said his interest in Twitter was not so much to make money as it was to restore free speech on the internet. He now has that opportunity.

Immediately following the news of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter Tucker Carlson’s account was reinstated.

I don't know about Babylon Bee, but it seems Tucker deleted the post that led to banning,so reinstated acct.

My understanding is Musk won't actually have control until approved by all involved. Locking down code or whatever from current staff seems to be part and parcel of board's fiduciary responsibility. Same reason they had.no choice with his eventual funding and offer.

Jim, one additional comment to you post, its not just right leaning folks, there are some left wingers who've been banned as well but BY FAR it's been conservative & libertarian leaning folks.

One example of left wingers purged is a group of like 1000+ "Occupy" movement folks.
as usual Anyone anti establishment is a target.

Not that I'm aware of.

But even if they had been , if they didn't promote violence in there Twitter message then it's not Twitter's biz to ban people who have criminal records.
Plenty of celebrities have criminal records, and records of violence.
But few are banned

Which leads us to why Twitter got bought out. I believe Musk wants things to be consistent. Already the shadow banning is being exposed.
