This is hilarious. Elon doesn't know how to manage this at all, it's complete chaos.
It’s comforting to know that Musk was born in a foreign country to non American parents.
God, imagine the outcry if George Soros bought Twitter. It would be wonderful.

I can't even remember if I'm supposed to like or hate Elon.
But I do remember that he's said things that would be in support of the fundamental principle of free speech.
I don't remember Soros saying such things.
Education is extremely important.

Still doing better than the initial assholes who created the platform.
Well, they did create the platform and also made it massively popular. So, from a business perspective, no he isn't. He's taken over something that had serious flaws and created massive additional amounts of bad publicity. He's also lectured us all about freedom of speech whilst silencing anybody he didn't like, seemingly on a whim.
Don't I remember you singing the praises of Twitter pre-Musk?

A popular platform that rewards antisocial personality disorders, creates kangaroo courts of public opinion that destroy careers, and publicizes home addresses and family photos of people who say the wrong thing to whatever mob you're talking about. Twitter is Community Stasi. So, from a digital hellscape perspective, it's hard to do worse.
He's also lectured us all about freedom of speech whilst silencing anybody he didn't like, seemingly on a whim.
Oh come on, only nutters actually believed his nonsesnse. I'm just glad he's keeping the dumpster fire going. Maybe it'll all burn down.

It looks like Soros' foundation is suing for freedom of speech.
If I'm honest, I know absolutely nothing about George Soros. The only time I hear anybody talk about him is here, and it's always conservatives saying he's behind something or other, with nefarious intent to overthrow the American Way. It all sounds like utter bollocks to be frank, but what do I know?
I was only joking

Well he's an avatar, and he doesn't even know it. Yes he does distribute his money to support causes the extent of which he does not realize. I don't know how he made his money. It's not actually important. He's the guy who got lucky.
He has made known his causes, and those causes have made known their effects.

A WW II Nazi collaborator.
his family survived the war by purchasing documents to say that they were Christians. Later that year at age 14, Soros posed as the Christian godson of an official of the collaborationist Hungarian government's Ministry of Agriculture, who himself had a Jewish wife in hiding.

He ran a hedge fund. His big career making trade was betting heavily on the British Pound falling out of the ERM.
He made over a billion pounds on that trade. I remember him on TV saying “normally markets and trades are very diffuse, and if you gain a lot you can’t point to any individual or institution that lost an equivalent amount. But in my case there was a single corresponding loser: the Bank of England”

So I'm the one who should have a beef with him, not you lot. He probably cost me 500 quid back in the 90's. I remember the people with mortgages freaking out, as there was no such thing as a fixed interest rate mortgage over there.
On the positive side, I bought a house a couple of years later very cheaply, so he probably saved me 500 quid there.

You ought to notify the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies and Simon Wiesenthal Centre in the US that Soros was a collaborator. I’ll bet they will thank you for your revelatory information.
