The prophecy warned us

I have broken
the build
that were in
the main branch

and which
you were probably
hoping
to work on

my job

The debate over speech on Twitter is as uncomplicated as it is unhinged

Sure, Elon Musk can do what he wants. That was always the case. The issue is what business he's building — and how it fits into political narratives.
