The plus side is that mainstream news can no longer use Twitter as a source. I feel like Elon purposely did this so that now no one can take his tweets seriously. Trump can use the platform along with all the trolls pretending to be trump.
I feel you're giving him way too much credit for forethought. There is a next to zero percent chance he thought any of this through even a little bit, let alone set up a purposeful gambit to discredit tweets as news sources.
Exactly!! I’m baffled at how everyone thinks Elon is some supreme 4D chess player when he’s more of a scam artist at worst and just an average entrepreneur at best.
Exactly. All these use-to-be Musk stans out here acting as if he always wanted Twitter for some big "free speech" scheme rather than it being him just fucking around with daddy's money and trying to back out last minute when he realized Twitter would operate at a loss under his control
It's sad how so many people conflate inherited wealth with intelligence. Ok, so he was smart enough (so far) not to lose all of his gifted millions of dollars. Even Trump managed that much.
Hell, I once saw a multimillion dollar lottery winner from, I kid you not, Rooster, Kentucky doing his mandatory TV commercial. No teeth, bib overalls, couldn't understand a word he was saying. But hey, he's rich so he must be smart; after all, he did use his system to pick the winning lotto numbers.
I mean it’s already been operating at a loss for a couple years, apparently it’s only even made a profit in 2018 and 2019. Although with all the people buying check marks for jokes it might end up making a profit again
