Paul GrahamFWIW I still hope Elon succeeds with Twitter. Why wish failure on anyone? But for me, not letting people post links to their other accounts was just too much.
Erik MoellerI think it's a question of what success looks like.
So far Elon has spent an awful lot of time amplifying far-right voices, starting with that deleted homophobic conspiracy theory tweet about Nancy Pelosi's husband, and continuing with taking directions on who to suspend from some of the worst alt-right trolls.
He's also actively rejected taking steps against COVID misinformation, which is the sort of thing that can, in aggregate, kill people.
Should we wish him success in that?
