Talk:Conservative of the Year 2022

Elon Musk

Elon Musk is going to be somewhat/largely constrained by corporate advertisers. But there are alternatives to the major brands run by liberals beginning to rise which Steve Turley recently commented on. See: The Parallel Economy Is EXPLODING.

In addition, the world is turning into more a multipolar world so the USA/Western liberal corporations/governments are going to become powerful.

At the end of the day, maybe Elon Musk seriously harming Twitter financially may be the best thing that comes out of him taking over Twitter. Similarweb.com says Twitter is the 4rth most popular website in the world.[1] But hopefully, it will somewhat increase free speech in the USA and lower the alliance between big tech and big government such as the Twitter blocking the Hunter Biden story shortly before the 2022 election.

A $44 billion net loss carry forward when he sells Twitter for scrap would pretty much guarantee the world's richest man being tax-free for life. And the IRS would have difficulty proving it was sham investment. RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 19:50, November 19, 2022 (EST)

I still think that Musk should remain on the list for the following reasons: (1) He announced he voted for a Republican (Mayra Flores) for the first time; (2) He encouraged his massive following to vote Republican; and (3) He unblocked Donald Trump.--TheNewRight (talk) 21:30, November 19, 2022 (EST)

He is an agnostic libertarian who has been divorced three times. He also had the very liberal Amber Heard as a girlfriend. He is not a conservative. But he is a very hardworking and a job creator. He is also for free speech to some degree.

In November 6, 2022, the corporate cancer of the problem of censorship remains and it is probably due to not wanting to lose corporate advertisers.[2]

RT.com: "Social media platform Twitter has made good on its warnings and slashed 50% of its workforce, the company’s head of safety and integrity Yoel Roth announced in a tweet on Saturday. “Yesterday’s reduction in force affected approximately 15% of our Trust & Safety organization (as opposed to approximately 50% cuts company-wide), with our front-line moderation staff experiencing the least impact,” he tweeted, emphasizing that the team responsible for monitoring and preventing misinformation and harmful content on the platform has remained largely intact. According to Roth, battling misinformation on the platform will remain a top priority for Twitter. The same goal was emphasized by the company’s new owner, billionaire Elon Musk, in his own tweet."[3] MarkLM8 (talk) 22:52, November 19, 2022 (EST)

How do we know you're not giving us misinformation? RobS^{Give Peace a chance} 22:57, November 19, 2022 (EST)

I cited RT.com and a right-winger. But if you want to believe it is misinformation, go right ahead.

Elon Musk knows technology and is an innovator. But he also has Asperger's/autism so perhaps being the owner of a social media company is not the best fit for him. MarkLM8 (talk) 23:06, November 19, 2022 (EST)
