They probably wanted Twitter as it was to die off one way or another. I can't imagine they invested and expected to see a return.

a decent amount of surface political stuff happens on easy places like birdsite. while its nice to have a well oiled honey pot factory, its also a decent win to kill off a digital space.

After Elon a lot of that political stuff moved to TikTok.

It really is only the chuds, the kooks, the simps, the scammers, and the olds too lazy to delete their account left.

Trying to think of some of my favorite Musk embarrassing moments. There are too many. I think so far my absolute favorite for sure is when he went up against Dril and got dunked on really hard.

I wasn't there to see it, but the exact moment when the realization of going out the door because gently caress Around met Find Out :lmao:

Also: the exact moment he signed the drat check. You think he did that tantrum thing where he tried to throw the check angrily, but it just fluttered and went nowhere? :lol:

I managed to exceed my rate limit, but it just told me to wait a moment and try again, and then I was able to load more tweets.

Edit: lol, nvm, I can't read replies to tweets, but the first tweet loads.

Katie Notopoulos, great tech journalist, did another Twitter Spaces for people to anguish at the changes. Was mostly people throwing about theories and noting that there were no exceptions carved out for Amber alerts, weather alerts, etc.

But the highlight was one person who said they could defend the decision who after delaying answering why it was a good decision could only cite "technical reasons" and "this will make Elon more money so he can make Twitter better, and then make X.com, and we have to trust him". Really pathetic stuff.

If Elon has some kind of 4D chess plan ongoing it’s to make Twitter the analog to braindamaged GenX republicans as Fox News was to Boomers but I don’t see how this move could possibly be a step in the right direction.

Clearly he just needs to simplify twitter further. Keep rate limits for non-ad tweets only. That way you can still keep up with all your 8 dollar nintendo switches sourced from this week's dubious app and mortgage offers while avoiding all that pesky content. I'm thinking 2 for 1 quarter pounders. :hehe:
