I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

You draw it out into the light and you ridicule it and you point out how wrong it is. You defeat it in an open forum instead of driving it into the shadows and allowing it to grow in darkness.

I hope you won't become a platform for spreading misinformation as that's not what free speech means.

Not to fear Elon. I will be here reminding everyone that Teslas are imported glorified golf carts with little horsepower and that America literally invented free speech through the Declaration of Independence (1st Amendment)

No. He's going to use them against us on the left. I'm left because I love all people and animals. I believe in the idea if America. I believe in equality for all humans. I believe in truths.

If you think Twitter is the modern day public town square why should it be owned by one single person much less the richest man on earth. That’s inherently authoritarian. We should regulate it as a public utility with first amendment protections.

Decent people aren't going to remain on a platform that you turn into a cesspool of harassers, conspiracy theorists, Nazis and abusive misogynists (to name a few). You're purposefully setting out to destroy this platform to salvage your own man child ego.

The replies to my tweet here are a perfect demonstration of how shitty Elon Musk wants this entire platform to become: an army of his hateful little cult followers.

As long as free speech goes both ways. Where critical comments and feedback on the things you are doing are seen in the same way. Prime example, Twitter jet account that shared where your jet travelled that made you upset.

are you putting the twice-impeached former president who incited a violent insurrection against the US Government back on twitter?
and, if so, what responsibility will you bear for any & all repercussions?

Twitter and the Internet have always had free speech. That's not the issue. What you need to focus on are systems that 1) highlight educational sources and 2) stamp out misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theorists. We need to dissuade ignorance and promote facts.
