    Technically in name it’s gone. The remnants of it carry on. Hopefully the public figures and creators migrate to a different platform already because hearing less about Musk would be better for everybody.

      Just curious what Musk did wrong. Seems like ever since he said there would be an organized movement against him, what he’s said has come true. Makes the hate feel manufactured by a movement.

        I shouldn’t feed the trolls…

        I suppose the better question is, what did he do right?

        • Taunted Twitter CEO, culminating in what constituted a valid offer to purchase at a very inflated price
        • Tried to back out of his legally made offer
        • Fired the vast majority of staff that knew how to run the site
        • Fired all of the staff in charge of ethics
        • Stopped paying rent and other bills, despite having used the location/services
        • Demanded employees devote their non-sleeping lives to the company
        • Ignored all his other companies, from which he continues to draw paychecks (ok, maybe ignoring them is for their best interest)
        • Failed to pay promised severance
        • Change algorithm to promote his voice above all other
        • Rebrand off of one of the most recognizable names and logos in the world

        And these are the ones just off the top of my head.

          Idk he posted about 2 or so years ago saying he was about to he attacked by the left and ever since then its been happening.

            Or you know, people just began to learn about all the shitty stuff he’s done. For example, baselessly accusing a rescue diver of being a pedophile for having the gall to tell him they didn’t need his help on a rescue. Guy’s a prick

              The dudes definitely a bit extra, but he’s pushing the human race in so many ways, I’m willing to give him a pass.

                You can appreciate the good things SpaceX is doing without waving away all the shitty anti-labor bs that Elon does. I certainly do

            It’s interesting, right? Announce you’re about to be attacked by the left, then take a hard right turn and spout conservative bullshit. What a soothsayer!

            “attacked” = being called out for shitty behaviour. If he can’t handle that that’s no one else’s issue but his.
