• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Elon Musk Thread - Buys twitter for reals this time

So in this bizzaro world, maybe the libs all leave Twitter due to the Musk effect, and then jump over to truth social.

Wait, did Elon just defy Obama? Obama gave a major speech just last week on implementing more speech moderation online.

Why would Elon do this?
 
This is going to be interesting for sure. I wonder how long until any changes start going into effect.

I'd guess almost immediately. Smaller changes first and larger changes may take a little longer.

Wouldn't be surprised if there is some sabotage or people in the twitter ranks that try and resist change, but it will eventually come. Elon is smarter than them.

Plus, he's notoriously quick tempered and bold in his moves. I worked with some of his Tesla people on a project, and they pretty much all fear the guy. Said that everyone around treats him like the sun. Keep your distance and don't look directly at it (him).
