      To be honest, I’m basing this on screenshots of Musk’s private conversations as reported by Gizmodo.

      I distinctly remember this bit:

      March 24, 2022
      TJ [affiliation unclear] [Edit, October 4: We now know TJ is Musk’s ex-wife Talulah Jane Riley]:
      Can you buy Twitter and then delete it, please!? xx
      America is going INSANE.
      The Babylon Bee got suspension is crazy. Raiyah and I were talking about it today. It was a fucking joke. Why has everyone become so puritanical?
      Or can you buy Twitter and make it radically free-speech?
      So much stupidity comes from Twitter xx
      Elon Musk:
      Maybe buy it and change it to properly support free speech xx
