Why is #leavingtwitter trending?! I hear the cancel culture and the censorship foot soldiers are panicking. No speech is hate speech. Free speech is absolutely a necessity to the survival of true democracy. Smart move by @elonmusk (sic), a user wrote.
Co-founder & former CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey said that he believes Twitter should not be ‘owned by anyone’.
However, he did believe that Musk was a ‘singular solution’ that he could trust.
