Quote by Andrew Torba who made Gab, the worst website I have ever seen. Andrew Torba is pure modern scum, he will never do anything of value. At least Elon Musk has a chance. His Tesla cars actually do work, unlike Gab.

Wow, where did that come from?

I use Gab almost every day. Works pretty well, especially considering Torba's not a billionaire and built the site from scratch, on his own infrastructure. And now it has millions of users. Back when Trump got banned from Twitter, a conservatives were signing up to alternatives, he claimed Gab got 500,000 new users a day.

Trump was even in talks to buy Gab, but Torba wouldn't sell, because he knew Trump would institute his own brand of censorship.

And no, unfortunately, Musk doesn't have a chance. Best case, he moderates a little of the censorship, but otherwise, nothing meaningful changes. It will remain a censor-heavy leftist echo chamber. If Musk attempts to change that, every other tech company will just ban Twitter, just as they did to Parler, Gab and any other site they don't control. And even Musk doesn't have enough money to buy them all off.
