He wants Twix to be Truth Social, but also profitable, and doesn’t understand why he can’t have it both ways.
Back in late 2022 I was in an argument with my (adult) nephew about how the government isn’t limiting free speech on Twitter. I was explaining how “the free market” is deciding whether Elon will sink or swim. He just could not understand how the government -wasn’t- responsible.

(Yes, there were some Governmental take down requests, but none of them seemed very sus to me)
I had a similar discussion with some people at a barber shop back when Pre-Elon Twitter banned Trump. They were complaining about free speech and I asked if they knew what it actually meant (in the US). When I explained that we are ONLY guaranteed free speech from the gov’t, and that Twitter was a private business and could ban whoever they want, the same way this barber shop could tell someone not to ever come back everyone got real quiet like “oh shit I have to rethink my whole world view”. I actually got thanked at another time by one employee for telling them how it actually works.
What’s this got to do with Twix? I love a good Twix…
Fuck me, now I gotta go buy a Twix. And a Lion, do they still make those? God they were the best.
