Elon Musk reaching a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion is discussed by Anand Giridharadas. "This future in which there would actually be more abundant and equitable speech terrifies the crap out of people like Elon Musk,” Giridharadas tells Joy Reid. Aired on 04/25/2022.

1. Whether the rich guy was Jack Dorsey or will be Elon Musk might be immaterial

Musk is an unknown quantity, kind of an odd duck on the spectrum who's not on the usual rabid capitalist wavelength.

In addition, he sent equipment to make the Starlink system available to the Ukrainian military, which I find a classy move that shows he's not in Putin's pocket.

I don't use Twitter, I haven't signed on for over five years and probably ten, but if I did, I'd definitely be taking a wait and see approach. It's not going to change overnight and if it does and goes in a vile direction, well, there's always DU.

2. Agreed, anything that helps the Ukraine military is a good thing

And anything I do with Twitter depends on DU, sometimes pass on what's posted here or post amusing or relevant replies - other than that, I only pass on Tweets from a woman who works to rescue dogs in kill shelters in Texas and donate to the rescue groups, that's it for me...
