Did... did you read the article? Its from Feb, 2019. Also its pointing out that billionaires are trying to get victim status, not arguing for giving it to them.

Makes me wonder the whole flight tracker kerfuffle was Musk wanting to avoid letting the Saudi family that he'd be in their backyard. Might need to avoid some conversations with Alwaleed bin Talal, etc.

And the feeling is quite mutual, apparently. Erol Musk's sole redeeming quality is that he absolutely despises Elon just like the rest of us. To the point where he straight up complimented a kid who pushed Elon down a flight of stairs because Elon was bullying him at school and the kid finally had enough and put the future-world's second richest man in the goddamn hospital.

If they enforce this, they are absolutely going to kill their golden goose. Pissing off advertisers, pissing off journalists, and now pissing off basically anyone with more of a social media presence than "gets into petty fights about politic in random people's replies".

Yeah this is mega stupid. Twitter being easily shareable/embeddable with other stuff and vice versa is what it's there for.

But don't worry I'm sure Libs of Tik-Tok/etc. won't be subject to these new rules despite regularly breaking all of them.



I don't know if I'd go so far to say "brain drain" is the right term, but you're really going to see this platform go from what it was to basically Truth Social but with Musk as its god instead of Trump a lot more quickly than I was expecting.



EDIT:

Ever since when Musk went through with this in November I had started getting followed by one or two bot accounts today. They're all the exact same template, some model's profile with a few tweets of pics. It's just weird to me because normally when I saw bot/fishing poo poo on Twitter it's in the form of one of those DM requests where someone just blasts every user in a group or something like that. But these are like, DOA, there's no profile information, no link in the profile to be suckered into clicking on, no interaction or anything beyond the initial few tweets.

Like did a bot script somewhere just stop working right or something?

I used to say it jokingly because it would bring the internet back to that time of you just stumbling around finding poo poo, but I never expected Twitter to potentially plant the seed of like web rings and poo poo potentially coming back lmao

I don't know, I think it might be for the better if people get the mindset that other ways of talking to each other online aren't hard mode, but rather that Twitter, Facebook/etc. are easy mode because of ad support and the chain reaction of poo poo that causes in the people using them.
