I mean either he’s just the stupidest or this is all intentional and he wanted to kill Twitter in the first place. Either way, fudge him and his weird face.
Twitter was fine before he took over. It had its issues, sure, but it’s nowhere near the dumpster fire it is because of Musk.
It’s already out that Musk’s sole purpose was to get “wokeness” out of Twitter. It seems that his intention was to do so by any means necessary, including the death of Twitter.
I was fairly content with Twitter pre-Muskrat. Now I want it to die. And I don’t see this as any particular good that Musk is doing, quite the opposite. He has a selfish, narcissistic agenda and has the money to back it up. The only thing I’m thankful for is that the piece of shit can’t be President of the US. But sadly we have plenty of other US-born, moronic, narcissistic pieces of shit working toward that goal again.
Nah twitter was a toxic wastesite. Anytime I went on there, there was something horrible trending on the sidebar and people voicing opinions and yelling at someone. People were being doxxed left and right just for not towing the “woke” line. I didn’t participate in twitter because I would have never felt safe there.
Yeah I’ve no love for Musk but Twitter is full of pretty unpleasant people in general and it made political journalism worse by encouraging low-effort hot takes over slower more thoughtful content. I won’t miss it when it’s gone.
My problem isn’t really with its politics (I’m quite left-wing myself these days) but its personalities, you can be politically progressive without having the mentality of a schoolyard bully and that’s what Twitter was fundamentally about, bullying the main character of the day.
Yep. I have no issue with people I disagree with. I enjoy engagement and good faith debate. But people would doxx you just for disagreeing with them, even if you weren’t advocating for actual harm to people, etc (in that case it’s twitter who should ban them)
I don’t think he’s smart enough to stick the landing on anything. Based on the new biography, it sounds like he’s just mad at his daughter over “wokeism”.

Not if his intention was the latter. Finally he does something good.

Ah yes, it’s critical that he “kill the woke mind virus”.

It sounds like you’d be right at home there now, though.
