A tweet was a quick take on the world, an opinion, breaking news. Now it's upscale people promulgating their wares ... threads, books, videos. I think Musk's free speech idea will sink the platform. Credibility and popularity cannot thrive on distortions, lies, hatred, and private interest agendas. That would be communication stripped of humanity.
