No, it isn't. You need to be resident. As in, living in Canada. Not just declaring a piece of property as your residence for legal reasons. There's a minimum number of days you need to be in the country for it to qualify.
That's just objectively false. They clearly are.
Lefty Twitter users are upset not because they fear they will be banned. It’s because they fear people who don’t agree with them won’t.
If you're in favor of "unregulated free speech", you're advocating to legalize child pornography and terrorist recruitment material and threats of violence and so forth. That's literally your argument, going that deep.
If you recognize those things should be illegal, you recognize that freedom of speech must have limits, and you need to stop playing the goddamned fool and pretending otherwise.
1> Section 230 doesn't do what you apparently think, and the ranting about it has been incredibly stupid from Day 1.I still support section 230 reform even if I personally like some of the things Musk says he wants to do with Twitter (open source anyone?).
2> Open-sourcing Twitter doesn't "do" anything. It isn't the code that makes Twitter what it is.
The small cadre of elites who used to own Twitter were making reasonably ethical choices.If you were ok with twitter last week, and suddenly aren’t today, you’ve got some soul searching to do. What is materially different now versus last week? There’s still a small cadre of elites controlling the town square. Unilateral control of the space is not a good thing regardless of who is calling the shots.
Musk is threatening a bunch of completely unethical reforms, and he's probably just straight-up lying about them in the first place like he has about a whole host of other things; remember when he promised he'd fix Flint's water supply? Yeah. Musk says a lot of complete shit and then fucks off and does stupid rich-guy stuff.
The shift in people's opinion has nothing to do with the fact of capitalist ownership existing, but the nature of the specific capitalists in question. You're deflecting from that, and I'm pretty sure you're doing so deliberately.
The only interesting element to this framing is that you demonstrate, yet again, that Conservatives think this has ever been about "agreement", just "differences of opinion".
People don't get banned for disagreement. They get banned because they're abusive and hateful. Learn to take even a modicum of personal responsibility for your own actions.
This isn't a new revelation, but it's not often one of you lays it out so blatantly dishonestly, right in the open, failing to grasp how utterly ridiculous it looks.
WELP, Tesla shares are down 15% or so off this news, wiping out $125B in imaginary value. Poof.
As a reminder Elon Musk owns a bit less than 20% of TLSA shares in total, so (again, I suck at math so someone check me here) he may have lost upwards of $20M+ due to the stock losing value.
Does this mean that technically his decision to buy Twitter is costing him $66B now? $46 for Twitter itself and another $20M "stupidity tax" on top of it?
Oh I wonder if us stupid plebs can ever understand the 82 Dimensional chess that these brilliant billionaires play.

Elon Musk needs to buy Blizzard then I will have cosmic expansion like never before!
If Tesla's stock crashing ends up scuttling this deal because it leaves Musk without any ostensible method to finance the purchase, I'll shit. Not that it would have made much difference anyway since, as mentioned many times, Twitter isn't profitable so financing it on borrowed money is *checks notes* really fucking stupid.
Yep, misread on my part. Rofl.
Either way, Musk is a prime example of why billionaires shouldn't exist. Being able to, on a whim, waste such exorbitant amounts of money that could go to literally anything else is just... vile.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonprofit_corporationA company, abbreviated as co., is a legal entity representing an association of people, whether natural, legal or a mixture of both, with a specific objective. Company members share a common purpose and unite to achieve specific, declared goals. Companies take various forms, such as:
- voluntary associations, which may include nonprofit organizations
You just don't know what words mean, apparently. "Company" and "corporation" are simply terms for groups of people given standing as a legal entity - it has fuck all to do with the goals of that group.A nonprofit corporation is any legal entity which has been incorporated under the law of its jurisdiction for purposes other than making profits for its owners or shareholders.

Billionaires existing is proof the economy is deeply, deeply broken.

That's literally not what either word means. You don't get to make shit up and pretend it's true.

This is yet another proof that the market is stupid as well, it must be those people who buy into the fan fiction. They think Elon Musk runs 8 companies, has a dating life, plays with his children and sleeps all within 24 hours effectively.
Stupid and almost all fictional money that doesn't actually exist unless rich people need it to exist temporarily for a loan or something, then straight back to, "Well this is just all fictional value!"
Markets have always been stupid, finicky, panicky, and irrational.
