Facebook has basically no active users under 40 anymore, and it has no features that those people want.

I was talking about them launching a Twitter clone. I agree, facebook is dead, at least in the US.

Trying to figure out a way to project myself into his brain such that his logic makes sense:

"What are retweets"
"I can crop and repost other people's memes (after acknowledging them directly)"
"I wish to hide the original author"
"Let's make it so the retweeter is made invisible and only the original author appears in your timeline"
"What effect will this have on my stolen memes?"
"Don't care ship it"

Your speed game is strong. But it's getting weaker. Do you:

A Do another line
B practice moderation: take a bump from the bullet
C practice discipline: eat a carrot, exercise, and get some rest
D abuse access to your customers, private data to stalk your ex-wife

It showed up on mine too, its someone retweeting it but the retweet label is broken/got removed so it looks like its just random tweets showing on your timeline

It's almost certainly a much better way to wring some profit out of his army of bootlickers.

He could be doing this as a pump and dump. He could be doing this as a lovely overdue April Fool's joke. He could be doing this to hide mention of a lawsuit. He could be doing this just because dogecoin-loving bootlickers replying to every one of his tweets have convinced Elon that doge is way more popular than it actually is, and he so desperately wants to be one of the cool kids. Any of these could be true, all of these could be true, and none of these could be true, and it wouldn't change just how enormously stupid all of this is.

My theory is that an Elon whisperer has talked him into doing it "for the lulz" in order to pump and dump. This could be the culmination of months of that guy going "man, your meme game truly is epic E-dog! Can I call you E-dog btw?" etc.

The rumour is that theyre building a twitter alternative that plugs straight into instagrams existing user base, which would probably be the deathblow if true.

The news articles on this are so funny because it's literally Twitter minus Elon.

Edit: Yeah the loading screen also has the dog. Musk trying really hard to ingratiate himself to the vaunted memer community I guess.

He thinks its the most absolutely hilarious thing ever and will change poo poo randomly with his toy social media site hust to tell his favorite jokes and memes from 10-20 years ago.
