I desperately want to learn and remember this lesson!

Twitter might for a short while have improved after Musk took over, but not to the extent that I had thought and hoped for. So here is some bitter soul-searching.

In vol. 20 of Citadel 21, I wrote the following:

"Suddenly luck strikes again. A madman named Elon Musk takes over Twitter. I had barely used the platform previously. I had 16 followers or something before I launched the inflation book.

"And then Musk decides to let people tell their story freely. He even exposes the corruption of the media, and how Big Pharma and the politicians took advantage of the pandemic.

"After a short while I have hundreds of followers. Then a thousand. And now more than 1,700. I interact with all sorts of people, all over the world. It’s a movement. People who worship truth and public discourse enjoy a rare moment of intellectual and spiritual freedom."

I was wrong, or at least this "rare moment" was very short.

I will think about this lesson every time I see Musk's name, picture, cars, companies etc.
