"Slightly" less, Lol.

Musk believes in "free speech" as long as it doesn't break the law, which has resulted in Neo-Nazis being unbanned like Nick Fuentes, Twitter is full nowadays with people being openly pro-Nazi and we haven't even got into the bot situation being out of control and porn accounts spamming every single tweet.

But Musk is also a hypocrite.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Widens Its Censorship of Modi’s Critics in India

Whenever a left leaning government asks him to censor someone he throws a fit, cries about freedom of speech and all that, when a right wing government asks him to censor something he does it in an instant.

At this rate they'll be more moderation enforcement on 4Chan than Twitter.

Boo. Hoo.

The man spent billions on the platform. He gets to do what he wants. Any Authoritarian country that doesn't like it is more than welcome to ban the platform. Here in the US we still value freedom of speech.

Or maybe we should look even more when someone spends billions on something like Twitter instead of using that as justification not to care about it. He also didn't just buy it all with his own money, he got financial help from as example Saudi Arabia which could obviously also let him think twice about some political decisions on Twitter in one or the other direction.

History told us often enough that looking away at something which could end up badly is a bad thing. To act like everyone should just look away if he doesn't like how Musk tries to manipulate everyone, tries to tell everyone that every news media outside Twitter is useless, how you only find the truth when you use his service or how he spreads misinformation on a daily basis is pretty idiotic to be honest.

As more power someone has as more you have to look at what he does with it. You seem to think as more power someone has as more he should be able to do whatever he likes because he has the money to buy this right! Seriously...
