It's honestly hilarious reading a bunch of people freak out about Twitter as if they're having an actual breakdown.
Twitter's a toxic shit hole whenever people try to use it as other than a feed for stuff you might be interested in from people you wanna know about. I miss when it was described as 'microblogging'
I always found it bizarre that Twitter became the default communication channel for orgs and brands alike (get a website ffs), and disgusting how people aimed to be influencers through it.
Charge them $100 for a freaking blue tick for all I care. Clout chasing should have a cost.
Elon is clearly not the genius he brands himself as being but if something, he seems to have a superhuman ability to acquire and capitalize leverage, all his success can be attributed to that.
Owning Twitter is not much different than owning a tv station or a news paper, if you can influence the message that comes out that gives you leverage. Leverage to get more subsidies, get more government contracts for rockets, you name it.
