Jeff Bezos / @jeffbezos: Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage over the town square? https://twitter.com/...
Walt Mossberg / @waltmossberg: There is some interesting speculation being written by smart journalists and others about how @Twitter will change under @elonmusk . I am trying to ignore it, and I advise you to do the same. Speculation and prediction at this stage is almost always wrong.
@pekingmike: Apropos of something: -Tesla's second-biggest market in 2021 was China (after the US) -Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla's EVs. -After 2009, when China banned Twitter, the government there had almost no leverage over the platform -That may have just changed
Elon Musk / @elonmusk: I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means
Dan Primack / Axios: Twitter agrees to be bought by Elon Musk

Ted Cruz / @tedcruz: Exactly right. Amazing to watch the Left panic at the prospect of free speech on Twitter. https://twitter.com/...
Gabe Hudson / @gabehudson: Lot of assholes cite free speech as excuse to taunt marginalized communities when free speech is abt making sure marginalized communities can speak up
David Sacks / @davidsacks: Things that must be true if Twitter's board is ready to accept @elonmusk's offer: 1) they did a soft market check and there were no other bidders. 2) @Jack is on board. 3) the pressure campaign worked.

Chris Hayes / @chrislhayes: The only thing I'll say about Elon and Twitter is a quote an old Chicago reporter once said to me about newspaper publishers and their political endorsements: “Nobody ever bought a bicycle they didn't want to ride.”
Lauren Feiner / NBC10 Philadelphia: Twitter Accepts Elon Musk's Buyout Deal
@mims: as someone who was getting into Digital Minimalism before all this happened, let me just say that if millions of Twitter addicts quit the platform as a result of this, honestly that would be such a gigantic net good (spoken as a former 20-tweet-a-day kinda person)

Henry Blodget / @hblodget: Dear Twitter employees... What the deal deal means for you is 1) most of your stock options will be worth something, and 2) you'll have a new boss. Beyond a couple of minor tweaks, the new boss hasn't said what he'll want you to build and do. It's not clear he knows. https://twitter.com/...

Rep. Jim Jordan / @jim_jordan: Free speech is making a comeback. https://www.cnbc.com/...
Sarah Cooper / @sarahcpr: Welp. We had a good run folks. https://www.cnn.com/...
Ben Fenton / @benfenton: The sale of this platform to a single private individual with unknowable designs on it should remind us of the transatlantic difference between the value placed on private and public ownership of the media. We are the lucky ones.
Jacob Ward / @byjacobward: Musk buys $twtr. “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” said Mr. Musk of his new company, which will now be privately held. https://www.prnewswire.com/...
@lizweil: Alt Musk theory: people will do anything to distract themselves from the true inner chaos of turning 50.
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: I'm not really sure how or why it happened — and at some point it should be studied with the perspective of some temporal distance - but the neediest, most ardent, and most passionate censorship crusaders are the tattletale-employees of media corporations like this: https://twitter.com/...
@evelyndouek: Soon we may be wistfully remembering the good old days when Twitter was run by a different eccentric billionaire who ate only 7 meals a week & appeared to testify before Congress from his kitchen. But we can do better than such nostalgia. Wrote about it: https://www.theatlantic.com/ ...
Emanuel Maiberg / @emanuelmaiberg: the fact that powerful people in media killed my original headline, “Elon Musk Becomes King Shit of Turd Mountain,” is exactly why we need more free speech https://www.vice.com/...

@reuters: Donald Trump told Fox News that he will not return to Twitter even if his account is reinstated following Elon Musk's purchase. Trump said he will formally join his own Truth Social startup over the next seven days, as planned https://www.reuters.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@thekenyeung: Twitter will not hold a conference call on Thursday after releasing its quarterly earnings.
@artemr: I am excited about the promises of technical improvements - the edit button, getting a handle on spam bots, authenticating all humans. But relaxing moderation is going to be a disaster that will turn Twitter into an even worse sesspool than it is now. https://www.prnewswire.com/...
@zubymusic: This is cool. I've been on Twitter for 13 years and have watched it gradually become more and more restrictive, biased, and censorious. Not to mention huge levels of spam and bot activity. I'm confident this is a step in the right direction for freedom and fairness. https://twitter.com/...
@repjayapal: Tax the rich. It's absurd that one person can afford to buy Twitter for more than $40 billion while working families across this country have to choose every day between buying groceries or their prescription drugs. https://twitter.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: Not surprising. Shareholders probably less than enamored with Musk pledging $20 billion or so in stock for this deal, not to mention taking his eye off the ball in a significant way https://twitter.com/...
Dylan Reeve / @dylanreeve: I honestly struggle to imagine any way this will make Twitter better. At least, assuming his intent with owning is to make it adhere more closely to his... values. https://twitter.com/...
David French / @davidafrench: Fine with me, so long is Twitter is a hobby, and Elon Musk keeps his eyes on the main thing: https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Ash Sarkar / @ayocaesar: I think it's really cool that tech bros can develop platforms to mine and monetize our data, accidentally become central to the distribution of news, and then sell off crucial parts of information infrastructure to a billionaire whose brain is 80% juul pod. https://twitter.com/...

Ingrid Lunden / TechCrunch: Twitter accepts Elon Musk's $44B acquisition offer
Tom Gara / @tomgara: People keep focusing on Trump coming back when the real question is Azealia Banks coming back https://twitter.com/...
James Ball / @jamesrbuk: Somewhat grim but: one of the biggest and constantly changing automated moderation challenges is banning images and videos of child abuse being transmitted. It's thousands per minute, on every network. The idea of turning off moderation and starting from scratch is a non-starter
Taylor Lorenz / @taylorlorenz: A lot of media are about to learn lessons about platform reliance first hand
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: I'll never forget where I was the moment that Elon Musk bought Twitter (I was on Twitter)
Tressie McMillan Cottom / @tressiemcphd: Money always wins. https://twitter.com/...
Jim Banks / @repjimbanks: This is a huge win against the woke mob and haters of free speech! I would encourage @elonmusk to immediately: - Allow all factually true and legal content to be posted - Restore the accounts of all duly elected government officials https://twitter.com/...
Chris O'Brien / @obrien: Should be fun watching Musk fight the EU on this front. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Koppelman / @alexkoppelman: I'm really looking forward to the collective reaction when Elon succeeds in “defeating the spam bots” and all of us including him lose like 75% of our followers overnight
Sarah Jeong / @sarahjeong: it's not nearly the funniest part of the list of things he intends on doing but “making the algorithms open source” and “defeating the spam bots” are goals that work against each other
Anthony DeRosa / @anthony: All is forgiven if @elonmusk brings back Vine and Periscope
@alexhanna: Now would be a good time for Twitter employees to take some coordinated action, especially in solidarity with your Trust and Safety colleagues whose job is going to be made much harder if this deal goes through.
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman / @repbonnie: If you can buy a major social media platform, you can pay your fair share in taxes. Tax. The. Rich. https://twitter.com/...

Tom Gara / @tomgara: Incredible, and possibly ominous, that this is the first major news event where nobody has a really funny tweet
David Rothkopf / @djrothkopf: The richest guy on the 2021 Forbes 400 owns the Washington Post. Number 2 now owns Twitter. Number 3 owns Facebook. Numbers 5 and 6 started Google. Numbers 4 and 9 started Microsoft. Number 10 owns Bloomberg. Free speech? You decide.

Dustin Curtis / @dcurtis: There are two Musks. Musk One: save humanity by making it a multi-planetary species. Also try to save Earth with electric vehicles. Musk Two: own what has become the most toxic communication system ever used by humans, because he's addicted to it.
Aaron Rupar / @atrupar: bookmarking this for when Trump's account is reactivated, he starts tweeting again, and Truth Social is a punchline that most people don't even remember https://twitter.com/...
Tim Carmody / @tcarmody: I really thought Alphabet would have bought Twitter and destroyed it instead
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: If this happens even to a small extent - if he is serious about following through and able — it will be one of the best and most important developments in US/Western political discourse in some time. Expect a massive backlash from numerous power centers, which need censorship. https://twitter.com/...

Discussion:
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: After many interviews and days of reporting, the main issue with CNN+ wasn't the launch or even the product as it exists. CNN+ is an example of two companies having an entirely different perception of CNN+ was supposed to be. My feature: https://www.cnbc.com/...
@esotericcd: This is a tough (or, if you really just hate CNN, I guess awesomely fun) piece of solid media reporting by the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/...
Ryan McCarthy / @mccarthyryanj: This comparison manages to completely misunderstand both CNN and the NYT. You don't need to hire McKinsey to tell you this makes zero sense https://www.cnbc.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Aron Pilhofer / @pilhofer: Epic postmortem on the CNN+ debacle. My takeaway: innovation in a big corporation is nearly impossible. CNN+ may never have reached its delusional subscriber #s, but that is part of the problem. I feel for all the people whose hard work went up in smoke b/c of corporate politics. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: New York's hottest club is CNN+. This streaming service has everything: Ambiguously defined strategy, executive turnover, poor communication due to regulatory restrictions, hurt feelings, hundreds of layoffs, ominous future consequences... https://www.cnbc.com/...
@jaspar: A lot of insight here about what the vision behind CNN+ actually was, and it does make a little bit more sense than I had given it credit for https://twitter.com/...
Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor: Utterly baffling that anyone at CNN expected people to subscribe when the flagship CNN product — the regular programming — wasn't available on this service... https://twitter.com/...
Margarita Noriega / @margarita: Part of the explicit job responsibilities of any executive should be to mitigate the potential harm that their decisions cause on people they hire. https://www.cnbc.com/...
Brian Brackeen / @brianbrackeen: “CNN hired consulting firm McKinsey to help with the operations of CNN+” Does @McKinsey have startup experience? Real question.

@niemanlab: “CNN spent a lot of money and hired a lot of people while walking into a very visible buzzsaw.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...

Sources: Netflix staff morale is down amid its declining stock price, subscriber losses, and an engineering restructuring to create “junior” and “senior” levels — As Netflix shares plunge to their lowest point in five years, the company risks losing its most valuable resource: its star employees.
Discussion:
Gergely Orosz / @gergelyorosz: Scoop: levels are introduced at Netflix for engineers and there is no shortage in drama over decisions of who got to be Senior and who Staff. This happens every time a company introduces levelling. Except for most at Netflix: it's the first time ever they experience it.
Tim Carmody / @tcarmody: “Netflix still offers people the chance to make a lot of money... It is not collapsing. It is about as large as Disney+ and HBO Max combined. But Netflix felt invincible, a high-flying disruptor that grew and grew and grew.” Now it's just another company https://www.bloomberg.com/...

@techwontsaveus: “A record decline in Netflix's share price...has shaken employees' confidence in the company's long-term trajectory. It has also erased the value of many employees' options. People who were sitting on 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars are left w/ nothing” https://www.bloomberg.com/...
@carnage4life: Netflix employee morale's taken a hit because the stock crashed and the company isn't going to give more RSU compensation. Given stock based compensation is a corporate expense, I don't expect many companies to grow costs given how the markets are moving. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Lucas Shaw / @lucas_shaw: Netflix is restructuring some engineering teams. Employees see it as a cost-cutting move. The company says it's adjusting to its larger size. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

@ajs77: @campbellclaret Mail on Sunday political editor Glen Owen's shabby, scabby, sexist, misogynistic attack on Angela Rayner this morning isn't a one-off by the Mail Group. Let's recall this front page photo of Nicola Sturgeon & then-Prime Minister Theresa May back in March 2017 👇 #DontBuyTheMail https://twitter.com/...
@pressgazette: At time of writing press regulator IPSO has received 5,500 complaints about the Mail on Sunday Angela Rayner article alleging inaccuracy, harassment and discrimination https://pressgazette.co.uk/...
James Doleman / @jamesdoleman: People blaming the journalist who was bylined on that disgusting Mail on Sunday story about Angela Raynor. Don't forget though, an editor accepted the pitch, a news editor approved it and the legal team checked it. It's not about one person, it's about the institution itself.
James Oh Brien / @mrjamesob: David Dillon & Glen Owen, respectively the editor & political editor of the Mail on Sunday, become the latest Johnson sycophants to be disowned while their lips are still attached to his ring. Another lesson for the countless other client journalists.
Douglas Henshall / @djhenshall: What to say about that article in the Mail on Sunday. To sit down at a computer and write something like that and then have it signed off by your editor says a lot about where we are at as men. It's so fucking depressing. It's outrageous. Women deserve so much better.
Matt Chorley / @mattchorley: Say what you like about the absurd Mail on Sunday story, but it is mad to suggest that who gets to report in parliament should be decided by politicians, or Twitter. The answer is don't buy the MoS, not seeking to be a state-approved journalist who only writes nice things.
@davesgould: I usually get really pissed off with people having a pop at journos. Too often, it's oversimplified and childish. But the people behind that Angela Rayner piece in the Mail on Sunday need to take a long look at themselves.
Rachel Clarke / @doctor_oxford: This disgustingly misogynistic piece was written by Glen Owen, political editor of the Mail on Sunday. But subs, designers & editor David Dillon all thought it just fine to print shockingly, repulsively misogynistic trash about a senior political figure in 2022. Shame on you all. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Sparrow / The Guardian: Speaker summons Mail on Sunday editor to meeting to discuss sexist article about Angela Rayner - as it happened
Dmitry Grozoubinski / @dmitryopines: The Mail on Sunday story is a stain on everyone involved in briefing it out, writing it, editing it, and approving it for circulation. Multiple people thought it was not only acceptable, but useful in defence of the Prime Minister. Not sure what that says about them, or him.
Brendan May / @bmay: I assume the reason the Mail on Sunday hasn't sacked either the journalist or the editor who published the Angela Rayner story is that they have no policy for people who bring the paper into disrepute, because there is absolutely no reputation to tarnish in the first place.
Otto English / @otto_english: Of all the revolting things in that Angela Rayner hit piece in the Mail on Sunday this ranks high. Dripping with contempt for anyone who hasn't been privately educated or been to Oxbridge or afforded all the connections and privilege that come with it. https://twitter.com/...
Nathan Sparkes / Hacked Off: The Misogyny of the Mail's Base Instincts
Peter Oborne / @obornetweets: The shameful Mail on Sunday story about the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party highlights a congenital problem in British political journalism. This is the use of unnamed Tory “sources” to smear and defame political opponents with outright falsehoods, fabrications and lies.
