The memes are coming in now that it is known that Elon Musk is going to buy Twitter.

The question of which banned account to restore was an obvious place for Twitter users to speculate.
Which blocked account do you want to be restored most often @Elon Musk takes the lead?

Many of the responses to the question call for former President Donald Trump’s reinstatement on the platform, but Fox News has reported that the most prominent banned person will not be returning to Twitter.
Not everyone agrees that Trump should go back.
NAACP statement: “Mr. Musk: Freedom of speech is beautiful, hate speech is unacceptable. Disinformation, misinformation and hate speech have NO PLACE on Twitter. Do not allow 45 to return to the platform. Do not allow Twitter to petri dish for Hate Speech.”

Zerohedge doubts Trump will pass up the opportunity.
There is also the call to reinstate The Babylon Bee, the satire website Musk has retweeted on many occasions. Musk contacted the company after it was suspended, and during that conversation he mused that he might need to buy Twitter.
Many of the other answers mention the controversial figures thrown off the platform such as Milo Yiannopoulos and Laura Loomer.
Some users expected an exodus of Twitter staff, such as Emily Freeman, head of community engagement at Amazon Web Services.
If someone @Twitter wants a new role… we’re hiring someone.

While workers marveled at their jobs.

According to a reporter for the DailyExpertNews, Twitter is a bit chaotic right now.
According to an internal source, it’s “absolutely insane” @ Twitter right now in the virtual valves of private dorms and texts from employee groups. Their take/breakdown just now:
“I feel like I’m going to throw up.. I don’t want to work for a company owned by Elon Musk”…1/— Talmon Joseph Smith (@talmonsmith) Apr 25, 2022
Marc Andreessen, the venture capitalist and co-author of the first widely used web browser, has been amused by the memes ever since the offer was made.

Even the Financial Times felt the need to meme.
The memes come in from users all over the platform.

Newsweek and others point to the money involved.
Elon Musk bought Twitter for $43 billion.
For a slightly larger sum, he could also have saved Sri Lanka’s international default on his $45 billion debt.
That is the power of great wealth. Focus on that startup you’ve been dreaming of…

While much about the deal is unknown, one thing is certain: the memes will continue. Now just have to wait for Jack.
