i think somebody mentioned to him "well tweet views would go up if you had to click through to see the stats and more tweet views means X the everything app is more popular"

it just definitely feel like a "clever" engineer's solution to "how do we make X more popular"

The app should be nothing but Elon Musk's posts, and you can only interact with the posts via an "Applause" button

I have a feeling the GOP has gerrymandered more than 20 districts in their favor.

brugroffil posted:

It's not true anyway. I think the net is maybe 1 Dem seat, because they add to the count of a lot of red states without voting.

Yeah Texas and Florida have the 2nd and 3rd highest undocumented populations.

it's all horseshit misdirection anyway, if the House had a number of representatives that was actually proportionate to the population of the states, we'd have like 3x as many Reps from NY and California.


idk if this is true but I've heard that the official explanation for why we "can't" do that is because it would involve making the Capitol building bigger to accommodate them, which sounds dumb enough to be true.

it's probably because house members would never vote to make themselves less powerful/important individually

I think this is it. Partially because like you said, the people being rationed are usually conservative dumbasses. But also because he hates every part of the platform that is associated with "Twitter". It serves as a reminder that this existed before he owned it and had its own culture, that he did not create or influence in any way. And that includes "Ratio" comments.
