The underrepresentation of women in academic science is typically attributed, both in scientific literature and in the media, to sexist hiring. Here we report five hiring experiments in which faculty evaluated hypothetical female and male applicants,

I’m just speaking hypothetically to what would happen in any forum if you truly removed all filters. People are people.
I don’t think that’s what’s going to happen to twitter and I doubt that musk is truly interested in creating a free speech
haven, but I also don’t think the “free speech” crowd is really thinking this through.

As I wrote, I believe Twitter already has plenty of racism, they keep the porno and gambling stuff, it's
a fambly chatrum, business as usual. Just apply the rules evenly.
Musk is going to attract a lot of government and media attention. I'm sure the IRS, the SEC, FBI, CIA etc. will
find reasons to investigate him. MSNBC, WaPo, 60 Minutes etc. will suddenly be worried about an 'oligarch'

There’s a difference between twitter having the porn/racism stuff there if you want to look for it versus having it fill up your feed. If all the speech filters get removed, it could easily turn into a cesspool, much worse than the current form. Howmany Usenet groups became endless steams of ads for viagra or milf webcams? Of course I don’t think musk will really turn twitter into some unfiltered free speech haven, just be careful what you wish for.

I think Musk will ultimately regret owning Twitter.
He has like three other major companies to run and seems to think this will be a part time gig. Twitter is going to be a high maintenance property and will ultimately take way more of his time and energy than he expects and no matter what he does will inevitably make have large groups of people who currently admire him, hate him.
He will learn that a lot of the censorship and algorithms he decries were implemented for financial and not ideological reasons when advertisers
start pulling out because they don’t want their messages next to a lot of the stuff he plans to allow. So either he stops it and loses a lot of
money or keeps it and disappoints his fan base. And no billionaire craves online admiration like Musk.
tl;dr: He thinks he’s buying a plaything but he’s really buying a PITA job.

For example:

(Text: Musk is taking on $25 billion in debt financing to acquire Twitter, at an avg interest rate of between 4.5-5%. That means Twitter's going to have to pay $1.15-$1.3 billion a year in interest alone, which is more than it made before interest and taxes last year.)
