“Elon Musk, Before you, my Tweets impression rate was above thousands, but after you, they catch the attention of hardly a few ones despite tagging dozens; can you justify such hidden restrictions that they are not coercion to get Tweet Promote in this way?”
“After more than 30 years in the middle of it, we could tell you stories. The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can. But there are always limits. And you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it”
“Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now. Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops. Twitter is not a partisan site — everybody’s allowed here, and we think that’s a good thing. And yet, for the most part the news you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six-and-a-half years to Twitter.”
“Elon Musk has the X factor. He doesn’t tweet much; he acts. That’s why he bought Twitter - just to free the caged bird, so it could return to the wild and tweet on.”
“We have so many hopes and goals and to-dos on the path to accomplishing our dreams that we lose perspective on how far we’ve come.”
