Why? I think it's hilarious that Elon is so desperate for people to love him that he's unbanning trump to appeal to the chuds and trump doesn't even give a poo poo

he only cares about the chuds, that's where all the money is, lol. He would have unbanned Trump even if the poll wasn't in Trump's favor.

i've seen ads for Palantir lately so the Thiel-bux are already coming in.

I actually didn't really give it much thought when I said that he's siding with the chuds because that's where all the money and power is. After some recent thought I think he probably doesn't give a poo poo about losing advertisers because other billionaires are gonna keep the site afloat for years, lol.

He's long picked his side, but he's not going to admit it. He's gonna play coy for as long as possible because he thinks he's clever, but he's going to openly play ball with right wing provocateurs. I wouldn't be surprised if he brings Alex Jones back even though he said he wouldn't.

why would billionaires pay to keep the world's richest man's lovely website afloat?

even Elon isn't going to dump any more of his own money into it

It's still got the reach, for now anyway, that sites like Gab, Parler, and Truth Social don't have.

Hopefully it does die sooner, rather than later.

Something I posted in another thread:

Don't leave, make them ban you. Then appeal it. We are far past the point where account numbers or advertiser angst is going to have any effect, it's not a publicly-traded company any more - there's no shareholders or board of directors to reign Elon in.

Making them ban you makes just a little more work for the moderation team and costs Elon money.

He's still pretending to be one instead of flat out admitting it. His definition of centrist seems to be 'only listen to the alt-right'. If he actually was one and played it up, he probably wouldn't be dunked on so much.

I just tried it.

First time, it bombed hard, so I asked it to show me the lyrics to the Oompa Loompa song. I then asked it to do a song in that style. Could rhyme a little better but not bad!

I had a similar thought. Even just deleting my Twitter account recently and returning to these old forums has done quite a bit for my day to day mood, tbh. The message board format is probably where the Internet should stay.

It's amazing how badly humanity hosed up social media, a tool that was meant to keep in touch with your family and friends. I took so much time seeking out a lot of my old friends and former co-workers, and in way too many cases I wish I hadn't. Musk might have been more loved if he just immediately shut Twitter down after buying it.
