He says Twitter will be a town square like it’s a good thing.

You ever go to a town square? There’s five crazy people with bullhorns yelling insane shit 24/7.

Why is that his ideal?

YouTube search "Hyde Park Corner". Its the London "free speech zone" of Hyde Park.

If this is Elon's idea of a town square - hard pass. I have gone to HPC for fun, but to actually engage in conversation? Nope.

That's literally how Alex Jones got started. He started on street corners in Austin screaming his nonsense and handing out xeroxed pamphlets on the secret cabals of moloch worshippers.
