Edit 2: on closer look, you have been using HN primarily (maybe exclusively) for ideological battle. That's the line at which we ban accounts, so I've banned this one. We do that regardless of which flavor of ideology an account is for or against—it's all equally destructive when people abuse HN this way.
If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.
This wouldn't have even crossed my mind, to be honest. In my opinion there's a surprising level of projection and self-awareness here. These thoughts are just that: hypotheticals. We don't know what's going to happen. But it's undeniable Twitter is a bad state right now.
Edit: you're definitely going to get downvoted, but IMO it's the only reasonable take I've seen on here.
The only expectation that doesn't strike me as a naive howler is that the censors will have new targets, not that some altruistic, enlightened billionaire-king is going to save us poor proles.
The notion that the "good" billionaires will save us ought to be repugnant to anyone who wants to live in a free and open society.
Billionaire-kings already run most of these systems. It's undeniable that these other billionaire-kings are using their platforms to manufacture outrage against the newcomer.
This suggests he is not aligned with the existing power structure.
WaPo even have an article talking about rich people buying platform. didn't Jeff Bezos bought WaPo?
why only worry about Elon?
Marc Benioff bought Time
Laurene Powell Jobs bought The Atlantic
Patrick Soon-Shiong bought the LA Times
and no one worry about them?
Also - isn’t Twitter a private company and therefore not subject to freedom of speech?
