Elon Musk takes over Twitter

You’d think Elon would be more inclined to support the re-election of a CiC who gives his company a $1.8 billion contract over a guy who undoubtedly will kill off any programs designed to impede Russia or China.

I have this belief that Apartheid Elon is assuming that the Trump takeover will bankrupt the Republican party (certainly possible) and he can basically buy one of the two major political parties in the country. So he's possibly playing the long game here.

 

I think you’re giving his intellect too much credit. He talks like every Rogan stoner these days.

 

Fewer people are using Elon Musk’s X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts

 

Fewer people can use Twitter, but is there evidence a mass of people have moved over to a specific alternative platform? Until that happens, Twitter isn't going away.

 

Yup. A diminishing Twitter is still infinitely more popular than the alternatives. It has a decade-plus built-in advantage as a social media staple. The only real other option is Bluesky, which is terrible. I tried it, but it's a giant echo chamber of people alternating between doomscrolling about the state of the world and chortling about how bad Twitter is. Yeah no shit. I can do all of that on Twitter with the added bonus of knowing Elon is coked out of his mind and reading every negative Tweet about him and his shitty platform.

 

One of Elon’s SLAPP suits gets slapped down.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate documented racist and hate content on X. Elon sued. Judge says the suit is more about punishing his critics and dismisses it.

 

I don't think he's making smart moves...He just wants to own a political party in this country and feels like he has the money to do. And he might be right.

 

He may not have users, but plenty of bots and spammers with pics in bio.
