Elon Musk Buys X (formerly Twitter): Just Use Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon Instead

[Sithborg]

Sorry, I thought they were both traded, but yeah. If I was invested in Tesla I'd be bailing too. Elon's management style is beyond awful.

Twitter was, but when Musk bought all the shares, he essentially took it private.

Judging by the replies there are many "Yes" votes.

Twitter to stop users linking to big social media platforms
Dorsey backed Musk in the past. Don’t do that or it will come back to bite you!

 

[Iceman]

lol lmao

55% vote yes so far lol.

 

[Sithborg]

Non 0% of those yes votes will because they want to see Elon ruin himself and twitter.

 

[squeekness]

lol lmao

Of course he will.

I thought it would be wider than that.

Mastodon is looking pretty good right now.

Axios - Elon Musk says he plans to find a new leader for Twitter (November 16, 2022)

Elon Musk: "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it" (December 18, 2022)

Elon Musk: "You [Lex Friedman offered to be Twitter CEO] must like pain a lot. One catch: you have to invest your life savings in Twitter and it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May. Still want the job?" (December 18, 2022)

Elon Musk: "No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor." (December 18, 2022)

Elon Musk: "Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it" (December 18, 2022)

He's still rambling.

The Washington Post - Elon Musk blamed a Twitter account for a stalker. Police see no link.
The Twitter owner threatened legal action, changed the platform’s rules and suspended journalists’ accounts after a confrontation involving his security team at a gas station. But the incident’s timing and location cast doubt on a link to the @ElonJet account.

It's a sign of psychopathy.

Elon is stepping down tomorrow, so Tesla stock stops dying. He's done a special kind of harm to it, and the investors are pissed.

 

[Teelie]

I would say the damage is done and it is going to be hard to gain back everything that was lost.

Good riddance. I do wonder if Twitter is beyond repair now.

I agree. But it can get worse. Which is what he's going to try and avoid.

Just so we clear, this is a prediction, not anything confirmed. As for Twitter. I worry where he's going for funding, with Kushner.

Well, if Kushner funds him and then that is lost, isn't that a good thing in a karma sort of way?

Kushner wouldn't be the one funding him, even if he said it. It would be funds from the Middle East. And well, what would they want with a voice with how Twitter runs?

The way Twitter is supposedly hemorrhaging decent users, I can't see why anyone would want to use it to spread a message that is supposed to be believed.

Twitter has reportedly laid off part of its infrastructure team | Engadget

At this rate whoever takes over as CEO is going to be the only employee left.
