Talk, it’s been said, is cheap. Tweets can cost you a fortune.
Elon Musk – as you’ve no doubt heard – has bought out Twitter for $45. 5 billion.
Twitter is a business. But it wields enormous global power and is at the heart of heated conversations surrounding free speech and so-called “cancel culture.”

Agree, let's see what happens in the next three months (i.e., 3rd FY 2022 or 2nd CY Qtr 2022). By the beginning of the next respective quarters FY/CY we will have an indication of what is happening and why.
If Musk maintains his bullhorn for "transparency" and demonstrates it to the masses this will be interesting. However, if there is any hind he is not as good as his word then we are back to business as usual!!!
It will also be interesting if Twitter and Truth Social develop any sort of content sharing API securely between the two platforms. That could be very interesting!!!
