It’s even more hideous than I was expecting. How is that even possible
The value of his purchase of all that billions was essentially:
-
The userbase
-
The branding
-
The software and the people that built it
Now that got rid of all three… Wasn’t it 100x cheaper to just buy parler? Or just hire a single developer on Fiverr and start a defederated mastodon server
Either he’s a raving idiot or someone was paying him to destroy Twitter. Or both.
No one is paying him. He is just a dumbass with money.
I doubt anyone could pay the man enough to blow 40 billion to tank a website. The moment you break something, the users will find a replacement and go there. This purchase was 100% ego. It changed no minds about Elon. His fanboys will still call this genius, and those who already knew he was a manchild are not suddenly thinking this was a mature, well-thought-out plan.
We seem to forget this whole “Imma buy Twitter” was, in part, because Twitter refused to disable the account of the kid that was tracking his jet
Who is still tracking his jet on mastodon and threads. I love it.

Great, except Meta (Facebook) already trademarked X as pertains to social media.
My brain autocorrects x.com to x-com every time. And I just couldn’t get into that game.
Muskrat also also stole the logo from X.org.
Everything he’s done with Twitter is great. It was time someone brought it down a couple dozen notches. Here’s hoping someone will do the same to Meta next.
I’m on Twitter for a long time now and nothing really changed. No one left. People that lean left are bitching about the platform but continue to tweet. Previously, the same was done by right leaning people.
I disabled my account the day Muskrat was forced to buy Twitter due to his own stupidity.
