Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Elon slashed twitters' expenditures too. That lowered the service/experience. Our social contract doesn't need the same.
I hate Elon Twitter actions, but Elon actually cut a lot of their costs without any actual significant losses of quality.
I don't know what exactly is Elon stand on spending on moderation on the platform(there is a lot of pirated content there). I really don't know if he removed moderation to have a better control and more freedom to do what he want or he did it to only cut costs.
In all the cases, you got my point.
Just because I hate him, doesn't mean I should criticize everything he ever did in life.
It's ok to have a balanced view on people you love or hate.
Twitter lost most of its value and revenue though, as a company it lost significant amounts of quality.
You are in no way a serious person.
Your arguments here sure sound like you are a very serious and thoughtful person.👍🏻

Good point.
He cost cut dual factor authentication because he doesn't understand the need for it, then made it premium only? Will that help with the bot problem Mr. Musk?
