I also like what he’s done to Twitter. The world could use less social media, and he’s doing his part to get rid of one.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Pretty inclusive to let the child pornographer back in, that is true.
Sounds like an opinion about another's opinion, which in my opinion means you might be a dick. But that's just my opinion about your opinion. 🤔😬
People do love being told what to get angry about. But if this is your opinion you either have not looked into any of what's happening, or you don't care because it doesn't affect you or because you agree with the shitty things being done. Either way no meaningful discussion is likely to happen based on your post lol.
You got me! I never used Twitter and think that the people who do use it should suffer. :D
Keep going Elon! You can doooo it!
So inclusive that he bans without question anyone that the nazi-affiliated Andy Ngo asks him to, anyone seen making fun of Elon, anyone who uses the site differently than Elon wants them to, anyone who exposes wrongdoing by Musk/Twitter/Tesla/SpaceX, and anyone who he personally disagrees with or doesn’t like. So much for being an inclusive free speech absolutist…
How the right thought he ever was one to begin with when he’s been blatantly banning people left and right since he took over is truly a fascinating case study in human psychology, marketing, and perception.
If you aren't being downvoted on UnpopularOpinion then it's not really an unpopular opinion.
The only good feature he added is the tweet view count. His other decisions have not been good.
I never liked twitter and I hope elon either kills twitter or turns it into a large nostr relay.
Renaming it to X makes zero sense. Twitter is a good name, the blue bird is a good logo, it brand is well established. Reminds me how Elon nakes his kid to some symbol or something.
