    I wonder one the sale is final will I be unbanned from twitter? 😂

    • Witness101

      October 25, 2022 at 12:24 pm

      Why would you be?

    • D. J.

      October 25, 2022 at 12:36 pm

      Just keep appealing and letting them know they’ll be fired soon so you don’t care if they unban you or not

    • D. J.

      October 25, 2022 at 12:37 pm

      @Witness101 because the ban was because he wasn’t woke

    Funny how she glossed over any of the benefits of Musks proposed changes to Twitter but only focused on the critics’ concerns.

      Try writing in English, so people know what your whining about.

      @Witness101 cope.

      I noticed that as well, a very negative and biased report there.

    What kind of morons call something a never end battle, which, quite clearly has a very definitive end coming shortly. Cnet published never ending lies by never ending interns who’s writing skills are never beginning.

    Good example how Elon big ego got the best of him. We know he got into the mess cause he thinks he can do better with Twitter.

    • NaNJa

      October 25, 2022 at 7:11 pm

      Literally anyone could do better with Twitter. Twitter is a dumpster fire of a company.

      it’s ALWAYS about Mars. Not that people immediately see the connection, but if you pay attention, his decisions always have to do with his vision.

    Going to be hilarious when Elon fires all the talentless wokies and moves the company to Texas

      People losing jobs is always funny… cretin

      lol!
      Wokies.

    • D. J.

      October 26, 2022 at 2:41 pm

      @Party on Wayne I care about people, no the Woke brown shirts at Twitter. They can get bent

    • D. J.

      October 26, 2022 at 2:42 pm

      @Dave Allyn, Sr. Yup Woke Brown Shirts…bad people

      @Be Low Below I worked for Tesla for 3yrs, they literally fired people every quarter. He cares about efficiency, as is clear with teslas success. Literally the only American car company that hasn’t gone bankrupt

    Only illegal speech should be banned. Duh.

    One group is about to lose their grip on having control of the narrative, and they’re doing everything they can in order not to lose it. One of the few times you see social media and the press not shill for a billionaire.

    • C Alvz

      October 25, 2022 at 2:15 pm

      Twitter was forcing Elon to proceed with the acquisition after he started backing off the deal, taking it to court

    • BlazinNSoul

      October 25, 2022 at 11:22 pm

      @C Alvz Which shows you Twitter never cared about it’s Legecy & neither will Musk. Musk is a narcissistic a** hole but shareholders sealed Twitters fate. I give it less then 5 years. Musk was a moron even offering to buy it!!

    • Charles

      October 25, 2022 at 11:36 pm

      Absolutely. Id be pleased if Musk fired them all.

    • Leftist Communist Soyboy

      October 26, 2022 at 7:15 pm

      Musk needs to fire and move the company to a red state

    This person once starts the show then later people are the ones who face the problems.

    Elon Musk is the worst.

    Twitter is so horrible. I’ve been banned 6 million times. I hope those employees get fired & starve

    • H D

      October 25, 2022 at 6:13 pm

      I have my account for 12 years not reported even 1nce. Maybe you just can’t live without gettin in a clout? Colonel Musk certainly does.

    • case barreoltt

      October 25, 2022 at 6:17 pm

      I am a virtuous person who enjoys staying employed and, therefore, will not dispute that particular number.

    • kenneth cruz

      October 25, 2022 at 7:26 pm

      @H D I had mine for 12 years too, I said all sorts of crazy things for years but only got banned after I switched to republican when Biden was elected… I’m sure it was a coincidence

      Free speach doesn’t mean a free democracy as people seem to not understand that. :/

    An extremely negative-biased overview of the Musk-Twitter situation. The dude has his issues, but he is still one of the few tech entrepreneurs actively doing major good in the world, and making money (more of less) while doing it. His notes and thoughts on what he would like to do with Twitter have all been relatively fair and logical. He wants the platform to be better, and the company to succeed. I do not understand why this CNet piece chooses to paint that in such a negative light.

    • BlazinNSoul

      October 25, 2022 at 11:26 pm

      Twitter is finished there is no fixing it!! He may as well fire everyone and watch it burn!! Musk will find out soon enough here

    • Charles

      October 25, 2022 at 11:40 pm

      CNET is part of “the current thing” pro war, authoritarian, pro race war/racist left woke narrative.
      I didn’t watch their video, just came to comment and make fun of all the little woke rainbow hitlers crying they cant censor.

    • WALLSTREETBETS MEMOLOGY

      I dont think she understands it – people in bubbles have properties of this regard…

    Forget about musk she’s beautiful 😍

    • John Ekow

      Agreed.

  18. Charles

    October 25, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Im very pleased the authoritarian anti religious bigots, anti white racists, and communist traitors who censor Americans and manipulate elections at Twitter will be fired soon.
    I hope they are all on a list somewhere and can be identified to bar them from employment.
    They deserve the worst, have caused violence and tens of thousands to be killed worldwide with their manufactured color revolutions.
    May they live long, poor, miserable lives.
    May their children and grandchildren disown their memory. And may their ancestors help throw them in the fire upon their passing.
    May droughts come and rivers dry while as they burn.
    May the sun never shine on th when they are cold.
    May they experience the same misery and pain they brought to Syria and Ukraine.

    Hardcore Twitter users lose their heads if and when Twitter has an outage, not sure how they will handle this transition.

  20. Polyushko Pole

    October 26, 2022 at 3:36 am

    Twitter is the less profitable platform lately they should invest in Tik tok

  21. oppenz

    October 26, 2022 at 7:32 am

    Twitter takeover is just Musk trying to sold his Tesla stock without tanking its price too much.

  22. John Ekow

    October 26, 2022 at 8:18 am

    I hope he buys it and fixes it so that I can go back to using it.

  23. Rick_

    October 26, 2022 at 7:58 pm

    It’s going to go private. Employment at will. Just like an acquisition you keep the best and fire the rest. It’s normal. Rather than trash talk, instead work and come to work. Grow up. Alternative go find another job at a non profit where u don’t have to worry about profits

  24. Bob S

    Fire all the woke idiots.

    They’re women being killed for not wearing a head covering. So heartbreaking. Think about a statement yourself.
