S1 E7 - Why Did Musk Buy Twitter When He Could Have Simply Sued?
Manage episode 346855927 series 3405437
Twitter has been called the modern "Town Square" which is immune to criticism for censorship because it's privately owned. But does it fit the "Town Hall" model? This episode examines the similarities between Twitter and common carriers which do not have the right to choose what they carry. Musk might have had his way at far less expense through the simple expedient of suing for fair treatment rather than spending $44 billion on a company of questionable and declining value.
Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
