    You gotta hand it to him working and answering users questions on Thanksgiving Day. I wonder if Elon has even left Twitter HQ today.

    Thanks for the update! You should try to monetize your fanboi ism. There’s a kid who’s done just that tracking his private jet but if you can track him to the office that’s a whole other level….

    Your reading comprehension is suffering again. I said "a real CEO that knows social media", not a tech CEO...

    So his standard for unbanning accounts is no egregious spam and /or breaking the law? But I thought someone just told me he was against racism and hate speech… I guess we’ll be getting those accounts back, then?

    But I thought you said he was going to clamp down on it and not let it become Parler 2.0? So will you decide which one you believe? Is he going to moderate it to curry favor with advertisers or Parler 2.0?

    It looks like he knows social media to me.

    Again, how is the hate speech being measured? Do you have a link? I'm not saying it isn't lower but I'd like to see how it is being quantified.

    Why don’t you go find the link! I’m not the one questioning the data. I trust Elon.

    Musk is awesome”. “I trust Elon”.

    likely next quote “it is right to give him thanks and praise”

    Well I certainly don't trust Elon. Is he the one who is saying hate speech is down?

    And I don't care what Elon Musk says. If want us to actually believe that hate speech on twitter is down by one third you're gonna need a better source than him.

    Hmm...thinks everybody that disagrees with him is a paid operative, joined 2 months ago, refers to Twitter as "we," and posted 18 times on Thanksgiving to defend the honor of Elon Musk alone. How much is Elon paying you? I hope you got at least time and a half for your work on Thanksgiving...

    He didn’t build twitter. He bought it and has only made it clunkier with the account imposter blue check fail. Other than that and letting trolls back on what has he done?

    just fyi, it is possible for him to post remotely. Like with his phone.

    “We?”
    That’s some serious self-identification you’ve got going on with Musk and Twitter.

    Musk's innovative and ground breaking idea to fix the "check" problem he created is to change the colors of check marks. He basically going back to the original system, but this time you'll get a different color depending on whether you are a person, corporation, or government agency. Also, this time he's actually going to verify people/companies before giving out the check marks ... which is something Twitter was already doing without an issue before Musk "fixed" it. This is game a changer.
