     11. Remove 'verified status' for most journos, commentators, and media outlets. These individuals /companies do not deserve to have their signal amplified. The decision to grandfather in legacy media single-handedly preserved their control over The Narrative. /end/

     7. Market this as a pivotal piece of a greater cultural movement to ‘Restore America’. There are people who can still be reached that desperately want something positive to latch on to after what they’ve been subjected to over the last few years.
     8. Put people you trust in there immediately to start to figure out how their internal processes work. They will try to adapt by shielding what they really do to ‘outsiders’, but this again highlights why it is so important to move quickly.

     9. There’s not even a chance that they’re going to treat you fairly. Don’t expect it. Do not give them the benefit of the doubt. They fully understand the severity of the situation.
     10. Strike while they are emotional. Let the changes you cause become the story. They will literally write it for you, and the public will cheer for what you’re doing. The liberal media is one of the most universally hated ‘entities’ in the United States.

     5. Apply pressure to the NGO’s involved in ‘fact-checking’ and ‘hate-speech’ classification. Keep in mind that this isn’t just one co. What we perceive as ‘Twitter’ is a vast network of NGO’s, state dep ops, and advertisers coordinating to drive The Narrative.
     6. Signal intent to move away from the legal defense shield of ‘AI/ML’ and towards a more human content mediation approach. Twitter hide behind this defense to avoid legal accountability for obviously politically-targeted aggression.

     3. Restore DJT immediately, or at least publicly vocalize your willingness to do so. This will help with the previous suggestion. Bring back Malone, McCollough, and some of the more well-known banned accounts.
     4. Increase your stake every time the leadership publicly counter-signals you. With only 9%, you will be a pariah to them. But if you show a willingness to increase it, you will be able to leverage it.

     thread by @PresentWitness_ re elon musk / twitter

     Some advice for @elonmusk:

     1. Move extremely fast. Don’t give them time to plan and react. They are still shell-shocked and won’t be thinking clearly.
     2. Put pressure on not only leadership, but lower-level employees as well. Woke companies are more autonomous than most might initially think. Their employees are there because they already ‘know what to do’. Get as many of ‘those who will be a problem’ to quit as possible.

     2/2) Equally interesting, is that by taking a very public stake after his VERY public comments, @elonmusk has now set himself to be judged by his forthcoming actions - or inaction.
     Making this whole thing a bit different from any other large stakeholder.

     While @elonmusk may not own 50.1% of Twitter stock, neither does anyone else. And he'll have the ability to out proxy Twitter for votes.

     1/2) The implications could be significant.

     Twitter is the primary source of political discourse.

     Removal of Twitter's political bias, allowing for truly open discourse and representation of ideas & opinions...

     Leftists could be in for a rude awakening.

     JEFF CARLSON: "Passive" is merely an SEC designation. Technically meaning a "long term" investor.

     And it's one that can be changed at any time.

     I'm also willing to bet that Elon actually holds much far more than just a 9% stake by now.

     More growth, more value.

     Twitter HAS to be worried.
