At least Lowtax made the creation he hated. Imagine if someone else ran SA, Lowtax came in, bought it, and then went insane.

Lowtax was a downright reasonable and understanding business owner in comparison.

The craziest part to me is ALMOST NOBODY uses Twitter.

There are 200 million active users. 20 million of them are responsible for 90% of activity. This is all well researched and 100% known to be true.

Elon Musk became so online and broke brained that he *actually believed* Twitter was the loving "town square of the Internet" whatever the hell that even means. He *actually believed* (until he got buyer's remorse) that it was worth 44 billion and he could fix it by pandering to right wing trolls, half of whom are bots/troll farms.

I can't prove this (nobody will ever know for sure) but I believe Elon looked at the Elon Musk reply bots and thought they were real people. We know for a fact that he 1) scrolls his replies 2) has an outsized perception of Twitter vs reality and 3) immediately pulled the "bots" card when he regretted the deal. This dumb fucker read bot replies and convinced himself he was the tech messiah who could save Twitter (a website with 20 million active users) and thereby save the world (population 7 billion).

What an absolute loving clown of a human.

It is a well known phenomenon that 90% of the work is done by the top 10% of people in most businesses. There are obvious variances to this, for example in the cuck community it is a well known fact that 60% of the work is done by 40% of the population. Twitter works along the same principles. On Twitter 10% perform for the enjoyment of 90% of its participants. And like cucking, that 10% should be forced to pay for that privilege.

This thread has moved super fast since I've been out today but if I could I'd like to submit my guess for the "when does Elon finally kill the site" I'm gonna say that it's one of those things where the site never fully dies, but the point where Elon sells it at a loss is gonna be 4/20/23 because Elon cannot resist a good(bad) meme. Odds are before he leaves he does a Donald Trump style "quite frankly, we did win" move and says that he did clean up all the bots and made comedy safe and blah blah he totally fixed the site and isn't quitting he's merely too busy saving the world with Tesla/SpaceX to focus on Twitter.

Elon Musk just personally banned webcomic creator Jeph Jacques from Twitter and made a post warning others to not gently caress with him. Feels like twitter is becoming an old school internet forum with a power tripping admin. Feels very familiar. Can't put my finger on it.

So, what happens when someone tweets those tweets as screenshots? Does that count as impersonation? I'm beginning to think that this Elon Musk fellow might not have thought through his insane, hair-trigger policy changes.

Remember it was only like, two days ago he was lashing out at all of the advertisers that Twitter relies on for funding? And now he's getting mad at people making joke accounts.

This is one of the funniest outcomes that we could have possibly hoped for.
