RelocationBoss Perfect!

Ie they agree with Republican hate

Considering that most of the banned accounts should never have been banned in the first place, they should all be reversed and start from scratch.

A very good man

Makes sense given who he is. The poll is likely fake results.

Polls run by Musk are fake. There are more bots on the platform and any polls reflect their votes.

DebraErnst14 It was not a poll. It was a contrived event.

He really doesn't know people.

I’m shadowbanned right now.

How many of those 'users' were bots?

Good luck with retaining advertisers.

Good

Not what he tweeted…go check again.

So he's just going to flush the toilet directly into the house. I don't see how this makes for a better experience. elonmusk

Dude was whining about bots on twitter before buying, but now he’s reactivating them? Bots freeing bots.

ShameOnElon If you agree that Elon is sowing seeds of division and chaos, please retweet this and let’s get the hashtag ShameOnElon to go viral!

It’s fine, just make use of the block and mute functions if there are voices you don’t want to hear

Elon worships chaos and despots. Shame on Elon Musk!!!

company. It’s like a town releasing harden criminals to cause havoc and anarchy on the streets but this is on social media 😈 it’s the Wild West again.. folks y’all better buckle up for a real bumpy ride.. yeehaw…😂

Yay!!!

Start blocking the source accounts of every ad that appears in your feed. We aren’t completely powerless.

Now we’re talkin’ free speech. If u don’t like what someone is saying, block them.

Surprise I don’t see the words “hate speech” in the headline

Imagine that. elonmusk the CEO of Twitter, who believes in free speech, doesn’t want customers of his site banned from using it if they were using it legally when they were banned.

Many victims from Covid silence punishment are free now. !!!

The media been providing amnesty to the democrats for years ....what's the problem?

As long as they have $8

Can I give you the name of thoses that asked me to k__l my familly, kids, wife & myself just for voicing my opinion? I'm sure they would elevate the debate on free speech ...

Honestly who cares….starting to behave like a demagogue….as if he is the arbiter of what is newsworthy, or what constitutes discourse.

He lies. I follow him & I didnt get a notice of a poll. Take enuf statistics classes & learn how to swing a poll. FTC needs to follow him, hes not known for his control over himself. Terrible employer

Yup, he's creating a right wing hellscape.

Boooooooooooo

Major advertisers should be stoked about this.
