Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about the Elon Musk Twitter poll that has created a lot of speculation about his next move. Elon Musk tweeted that when Twitter undermines free speech with its social media censorship, it is actually undermining democracy. He then left a mysterious clue by simply asking "Is a new platform needed?" Is he planning to launch a competitor, or buy Twitter and restructure it? Dave also does a special "ask me anything" question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from the "Rubin Report Locals" community.
