I guess Elon’s gonna get it after all.
What would you do with it if you got it?
If you’re a Twitter user, you probably have some ideas about what’s wrong or right with the platform.
“Twitter hasn’t gone far enough. It needs to crack down even more on misinformation, trolls, and idiots like Trump. Free speech doesn’t mean hate speech or misinformation.”
“Twitter has gone too far. It needs to stop blocking certain topics and people. Free speech is foundational, critical to a free society, and required to protect us from misinformation and Big Brother.”
Most of us are fantastic armchair quarterbacks, philosophers, and CEOs. We rant and rave and nod around the circle in agreement (with our tribe), but the nice comfy armchair offers the ultimate protection from risk.
We’re not on the hook.
We can’t make a difference because we can’t fail. We can’t fail because we’re not in the ring with the bull. We’re still up in the stands or out in the parking lot.
I don’t know what Elon will do with Twitter. I don’t really care, either. But regardless, I respect him and anybody that jumps down from the stands into the ring with the bull.
You and I don’t have to be a billionaire, president, or world-renowned expert to make a difference in Our World.
We just have to put ourselves on the hook, get out of our comfort zone, and be willing to expose ourselves to risk.
