yeah.. the problem is that twitter has as much censorship as before, might even have more..

but now the reason for censorship decision are about what is best for elon..

if it benefit him he will allow censorship to happen, if it benefits him he will censor you himself.. on the other hand, if it benefits him he will fight against censorship..

and he is doing all of that right now, all at the same time..

if he has nothing to gain then you will be censored and will not hear a pip from him.. if you cross him he will get you banned like he did to the cnn and nyt journalists that criticized him or the account that posted his plane location (that is public information and easily obtained)..

the only reason you think there is less censorship is because he allowed the far-right back and he only did it because he think it will benefit him.. but he also banned a bunch of people he did not like on the other side to compensate..

> the problem is that twitter has as much censorship as before, might even have more

Would be a stronger claim if it were accompanied by any evidence. Say, can you name five most prominent political figures booted from or silenced by X recently for their political speech? I would have no trouble naming many examples from pre-Musk times.

> he only did it because he think it will benefit him

That would be in now way different from what facebook, google and other are doing, but again, before discussing that, would be nice to know what we're discussing - specifically.

> but he also banned a bunch of people he did not like on the other side to compensate

Can you name some specifics?
