    I been on Twitter more often since Elon took over. I like the quick adjustments to it as we speak. If that isn't progress, then I dunno what is.

    I don't have any social media. This site is the closest thing I have to an online platform.

    Elon obviously just felt like buying Twitter as a weird flex. Then when he realized what he was getting into he tried to pull out. Twitter board sued to force him to buy something he obviously didn’t want to and it’s been a hilarious disaster

    He’s alienated both users AND sponsors at the same time. Fired 75% of the moderation team in his first week

    The whole thing with people impersonating Musk and discussing things e.g. emerald mining and the like seemed to touch a nerve, those accounts were immediately suspended. Also, it's inevitable that there'll soon be a paywalled check for the check that serves the function of the original check.

    Word on the street is he is trying to make it a super-app. But Inknow we all find it hilarious that the $8 blue check went away because too many people making fake accounts. Duh. Lolololol

    There is an old joke about how to become a millionaire: be a billionaire and buy a newspaper.

    Could Musk be living the digital-age update?

    Research shows social media use makes us miserable, so Elon buying Twitter just to destroy it is actually Effective Altruism.
