You know, I’ve been resisting the “he’s trying to kill Twitter on purpose” conspiracy theories, but…
Twitter allowed citizens too much power, Elon took that power away.
Yeah, i don’t understand why this isn’t more of a topic, whenever there are discussion about damages caused by Musk’s takeover…
Mostly for USA, Twitter was something you could rely on. Hurricane? Twitter had the latest and most helpful information in no time.
Even the government’s Amber Alert was tweeted officially. When Twitter was suddenly behind a login, there were weeks where access to life saving information was blocked.
Also, all kinds of groups around the world were organized around Twitter. One could say Twitter would have been able to organize revolutions.
Musk, the clown, manages to draw all the attention to his bullshit behavior, while the death of twitter is probably met with great joy by some important people we never hear much about.
Actually, i can’t really tell, if Musk is doing this, with the intention of fucking Things up or if this is really what he believes to be a good take on handling his Twitter arc.
I wish, we had less Trump & Musk poisoning our lives with their vulgar existence.

I think it’s more that Elon on a fundamental level doesn’t understand Twitter. He thinks he does, and that’s the problem. He only understands Twitter as he personally uses it. All other use cases don’t exist to him, because he assumes his experience is THE universal Twitter Experience. So you’ve got a Reply Guy who really wants to be a Poster trying to mold Twitter into what will make him that.
Yes, this makes sense. He is also visibly flabbergasted, when booed at, while getting on the stage in some of his appearances ( normally appearances after he tweeted about something he did ). It makes it seem like he was expecting the contrary reaction from the audience.
To be fair, i assume everyone would at least look a little uncomfortable, if booed at by a crowd, while getting on whatever stage.
Twitter isn’t special, nobody needs a single fucking service stood up. Fuck Elon but fuck all these Twitter simps too.
So many alternatives, and if your response is “yeah but they’re not all in one place”, good! No private company should be THE “town square”
There is some sense, since many nations’ government services are determined to use social media to provide information- and they are, in at least most of them choosing one over the others. Now personally, I hope more choose Mastodon now that Twitter is so awful, but it’s been a slow adoption.
Power of shit posting?
I’m in a similar position, but it’s the Brewster’s Millions conspiracy for me.
He could have just bought all the NFTs if that was the issue.
Elon changing gear for the bankruptcy speedrun.

Honestly if you’re still using the service, you deserve everything coming for you.
Oh boy poor Elon Musk, now the ADL (Anti Defamation League) is sabotaging him again. How they do it IDK, but who else could it be?
Good that Elon Musk is taking his strong case against them to court. Because one thing is 100% sure, it’s not Elon Musk and his very clever decisions that are the cause of the problems for the thing formerly known as Twitter.
Hold on Elon, you have this.
/S
People still use that fascist owned site?
But the people aren’t on similar services! How am I supposed to split them off to other services now?
“springtime for hitler”
Hes worth $200 billion. Even all lemmy users put all their money together it won’t even reach half of that. Conclusion being he doesnt give 2 shits what we think or say.
I didn’t realize having money meant you didn’t care what people thought of you. How does that work exactly?
Well if you open your eyes and read the news then you’ll see how amazon workers on min.wage are struggling to make ends meet while daddy bezos is worth $150billion or something.

Another good example is warner bros. Where they are willing to spend $500 millions to keep workers on min. wage than spending $47 million to give them a livable wage.
All you have to do is open your eyes and read news from all sources, not just fox or CNN, all sources yeah? Like France 24, Aljazeera, DW etc.
You’ll soon realize that people genuinely don’t care as long as it doesnt affect them personally.
Today is elon, tomorrow it’ll be bezos then gates and it’ll keep going on. Working class will keep complaining and elites will be running the show.
No one is arguing that at all…?
His business is breaking a rule. One that can levy beyond fines. This isn’t about what he thinks.
Sure, let’s slap a 5 mil fine on a business worth 44 billion. Now please don’t start with his business is not worth 44 billion anymore
He spent $44B and a ridiculous amount of his time every day trying to influence what people think and say. Hell, he’s threatening to sue the fucking Anti-Defamation League because what they said hurt his feelings.
Like Trump, he is completely obsessed with what people think of him because, like Trump, that’s what his entire empire is built on.
he should care though what the stockholders of his companies and potential future investors think of his abilities as a businessman. burning a 40 billion dollar company into the ground within a year does not speak favorable of his capeabilities.
Also a lot of his businesses are relying heavily on subsidies, public funding or are just straight up government contracts. And for that public opinion does matter.
