I for one welcome Elon's takeover. Here's to Elon, Capt'n of Twitter
and Spaceship Earth.

Content moderation must use exactly the same criteria for all
political camps. We can't have some users punished for legal
opinionated posts that the moderators dislike, and other users
tolerated even when they post death threats. That must go.

Isn’t that a perfectly obvious thing to do?  If software can drive a car, is there any reason to think it can’t moderate content?  Couldn’t you have something like the way car automation works, where a human still hasta sit behind the wheel to kinda watch over it?  You could have humans (way fewer of them probably) to just supervise the software.  You could make the software filters public.
