As a person who fears twitter becoming a brainwasher, I like what musk is doing. He's making the website look like a shady 00's download site, with less porn ads.

This is good because it means that old people / and non-internet will stay away from it just out of inherent fear, so there is less people to grift, and twitter just eats its own.

Twitter, a name that can also be a verb, a noun, and a concept? loving stupid. If there's one thing every smart businessperson knows it's that you want your site or product to have an incredibly generic name that's confusing to explain and easily forgettable.

Not only generic, but generic to the point where it is used as "Brand X" in commercials

it is fun to imagine a moron like Elon being in control of the system that controls 50% of all economic activity. lots of laughs to be had.

I had a cyberpunk character named Prophet9. His goal was to give all of the world’s money to someone stupid like Elon Musk, to crater the global economy.

9. Goals for being good bank

No fraud
Be awesome
Do money good

- Elon Musk, age 6

it’s even better because he says ‘least amount’ of fraud; and it’s only least because it’ll be 100% fraud but on twitter’s remaining three users (Elon, catturd, Andrew tate)

Wasn't one of his visions to have the clients' money invested into AI controlled daytrading for maximum yields?

Probably the default option buried somewhere in the Terms of Service that requires jumping through dozens of obscure hoops to opt out of.

Can't wait for the wave of "Still love the bank though" posts on X after someone lost their life savings. My only hope is that it won't take more than 3-5 years to become a reality.
