I genuinely hope this platform burns to the ground.
I already lost all faith in it a long time ago, but kept my account to occasionally respond to a friend, or just look at feeds i don’t follow.
When he publicly reinstated fascists though, that was the last drop in the ocean of issues
The moment Musk fired engineers, I removed my account. Then I watched Twitter integration fail for a few applications Ive worked on, and removed that login/access.
From there, I watched multiple services fail. Ive watched spam bots take over. I watched drama after drama, Musk demanding weird choices like his tweets get priority.
It's such a mess.
Honestly I'm surprised it lasted this long since Musky bought it.
That just shows the strength of the Twitter brand.
and the people's inertia
Never going to happen. His other companies are highly successful and private so he can always borrow money to from other companies to keep twitter afloat
If that's what he's doing, he still wont sink money into Twitter forever.
You are underestimating musks infantile need to show the world he's not a failure.
Tesla is not private. He borrowed a huge amount against his Tesla shares to buy twitter. That's one of the reasons he wanted that giant bonus. He needs the money to keep paying off the loans.
And it got approved so 🤷♂️
