GEIST Hey Kara good ░░░░░░░░ it s Willie It ░░░░░░░░ so funny to hear ░░░░░░░░ say that I was ░░░░░░░░ to someone close to ░░░░░░░░ a couple of days ░░░░░░░░ he said if you ░░░░░░░░ to know what he ░░░░░░░░ thinking just watch what ░░░░░░░░ says and does He ░░░░░░░░ a poll up on ░░░░░░░░ Should I invest in ░░░░░░░░ And he goes and ░░░░░░░░ in Twitter I guess ░░░░░░░░ his portfolio this isn ░░░░░░░░ really a huge thing ░░░░░░░░ might be a vanity ░░░░░░░░ but what does it ░░░░░░░░ you started answering the ░░░░░░░░ for Twitter itself which ░░░░░░░░ been under some scrutiny ░░░░░░░░ the right especially for ░░░░░░░░ certain voices there Do ░░░░░░░░ think this actually changes ░░░░░░░░ company SWISHER Well you ░░░░░░░░ using the team censors ░░░░░░░░ people don t agree ░░░░░░░░ that so I am ░░░░░░░░ to push back on ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ have content moderation like ░░░░░░░░ lot of these social ░░░░░░░░ sites and the biggest ░░░░░░░░ obviously is Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ what they did is ░░░░░░░░ January 8th they suspended ░░░░░░░░ permanently which is kind ░░░░░░░░ a permanent word and ░░░░░░░░ question is you know ░░░░░░░░ lot of people had ░░░░░░░░ back on that including ░░░░░░░░ at the time because ░░░░░░░░ if you agree he ░░░░░░░░ the rules only one ░░░░░░░░ decided that right on ░░░░░░░░ platform and it was ░░░░░░░░ important platform for Donald ░░░░░░░░ And so I think ░░░░░░░░ are worried that he ░░░░░░░░ going to bring back ░░░░░░░░ Trump I think on ░░░░░░░░ left I think that ░░░░░░░░ one worry Others are ░░░░░░░░ that he s going ░░░░░░░░ impose all kinds of ░░░░░░░░ all kinds of you ░░░░░░░░ bile to run over ░░░░░░░░ when they ve been ░░░░░░░░ to clean it up ░░░░░░░░ think the issue with ░░░░░░░░ is that at some ░░░░░░░░ Twitter as a company ░░░░░░░░ by the way is ░░░░░░░░ small people think it ░░░░░░░░ a big company it ░░░░░░░░ not a big company ░░░░░░░░ doesn t have many ░░░░░░░░ and stock has remained ░░░░░░░░ the IPO price which ░░░░░░░░ really astonishing given how ░░░░░░░░ growth other tech companies ░░░░░░░░ had So it s ░░░░░░░░ very little private square ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ of as a massive ░░░░░░░░ square Elon is of ░░░░░░░░ one of the people ░░░░░░░░ loves using it So ░░░░░░░░ s different debates on ░░░░░░░░ that private square should ░░░░░░░░ like.”
