Yes this belongs in Politics because there has been no transaction in recent history that has created more political reaction waves than Elon Musk's saga of becoming the primary, even sole owner of Twitter. It is talked about across the internet, on social media, in Congress. . .
And now it is being reported that his intent is to reduce the existing Twitter workforce by 75%. This is an economy move as Twitter currently nets between $1 and $2 billion per year compared to Facebooks almost $40 billion per year.
Those supporting this initiative generally come from the aspect that it will be mostly those scouring Twitter for rightwing accounts to censor or suspend who will be let go. (We don't know that, but that's the scuttlebutt.)
Those opposing it mostly seem to be afraid there won't be as much censorship or suspensions of those account on the right though they never say it quite that way. Their terminology is that there won't be as efficient monitoring of 'harmful' or 'misleading' information which is how they characterize the tweets of MAGA or others on the right.
Some like me would welcome ability for those on the right to exercise free speech without having to be so careful of each word or phrase, but my concern is there won't be censorship of the radical extremists on the right who just tweet insults, slurs, talking points, false memes etc. which are not at all helpful and are often detrimental to the MAGA public image and agenda.
