Betteridge's Law of Headlines: "Any headline that ends with a question mark can be answered 'No.'"

Elon can't do what he wants to do with the platform (i.e. let hate speech have equal footing with everything else), because laws exist, and no matter how rich he is, he must follow them.

80% of his users are in the EU, and they have very strict hate speech and defamation laws. Besides the bills that keep piling up and the lawsuits he's about to face over not paying severance to those who left, he will eventually have to face European governments' orders.

Couple that with the fact that he's shown a lot of people just how much of a turbo-bigot he is, and he's never going to attract the same number of people Twitter had before. The tricks he used to make his other companies work won't work here (and evidence indicates his success was probably somebody else's ideas that he stole).

It's not. In fact, it's only good at surface details. Ask it deep questions about philosophy or specifics about scientific inquiry, and it gets that stuff wrong. The response is impressive...

...but the problem is: it sounds plausible to the layperson, so the layperson doesn't know they're getting incorrect information (and the developers wouldn't know, either). This is currently a good way to spread misinformation. If this is the future, we're headed towards dystopia.
