My conservative friends have not been posting much... until today.
I have seen 3 joyous, revel-filled posts by arch-conservatives.
We are talking "dancing in the streets" level celebrations,
with likes and loves by the friends who are politically aligned with them.
However, a friend who is an arch-liberal suggested that there could be issues facing Elon, including:
- GDPR laws in Europe that could affect the way the platform behaves.
- A dearth of liquid cash, meaning tangibles may have to be placed on the table.
- Annual interest on the debt he's using to purchase the platform.

Yeah I think he's gonna face an uphill battle. This company is also pure chaos internally and always has been. I've been working here for nearly half the company's life and I can safely say he's about to face the only weapon more powerful than money—bureaucracy.
A lot of people seem to think that we're going to "open source the algorithm" and they'll find some smoking gun that says "if (tweet.isConservative) shadowBan()" and that's just not how any of this works. There's no single "algorithm" and most of it is gigantic machine learning models. If you want to go crazy staring at thousands of matrix coefficients, be my guest.
