So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX

Im curious to watch it now, maybe she was playing 4D chess lol

Matt Walsh is the dude who wants to impregnate 16 year olds isn't he? So much for new twitter protecting kids if his bunch are getting promoted.

Great to see the success Twitter has become under Elon, they are some great numbers

Why? Why would he do this?

If you set out to destroy Twitter from the inside you'd be hard pushed to do a better job than he's doing. It's like he wakes up every morning and thinks to himself "How can I make Twitter an even more unpleasant environment for everyone today?"

Can you imagine all of the women with any kind of profile on the site who will just give up entirely if they can't block people who harass them (and yes women get harassed way way more than men do)? I'd say female journalists and politicians will quit en-masse if this comes to pass.

That's some great NumberWang but how does it translate into real world, AKA financial, success?

Spam and Bots are massively up and advertising is way down. It sounds like this guy(is this the daterape guy?) is defining success by picking a number that looks big and impressive without understanding how it helps the business. Reminds me a bit of that guy who thought the best programmers were the ones who wrote the most code.

Free speech absolutist strikes again

Facebook is becoming more and more irrelevant everyday so zuckerberg is scrambling for his next thing and just throwing money at anything and everything.

Yes he still has a large audience but that doesnt make it relevant. Younger people arent joining it in anywhere close to the numbers they used to, its active users below 25 has cratered. I'm even in my late 30s and I don't know anyone in my close friend circle who still uses it vs even 5 years ago. Id bet if you went into a school or even a university and asked how many have a FB account and actively use it the numbers would be paltry.

He plowed money into VR to try and cement Meta as the dominant platform much like FB was for social media 15 years ago as a way to pivot and stay ahead of the game, the only issue there is VR just doesnt appeal to a big enough audience yet and it may never. The attempt at his own twitter has the same goal, Elons left an opening and until he can prove his version of twitter works which wont be until he can pay back his debts there's space for other platforms to move in.

I really missed the old Twitter after all the developments on UK and US politics, then remembered that all the tweet responses prioritise the Twitter Blue loons. The platform is useless now, Elmo is an idiot.

The non payment of rent is strange. His greatness has been offering thoughts from his smooth brain recently on the trouble facing commercial real estate.

Is this some kind of pig headed and circular way to show he’s right or is he trying to force a confrontation at the San Francisco office (as the city is going through a bad phase) as a way to get back at the city?

The frustrating thing about this is that thread is going to get a fraction of the number of views as the actual interview (and very likely to a completely different audience who already knew RFK was spouting unchallenged nonsense)

Yeah I have really noticed this in the past few days especially. For me it's mindfulness gurus and people explaining how to monetize Chat GPT

Absolutely. I was just going to post the same thing. Now I have to scroll past the pile of idiot blue ticks and ads to get to people who actually post stuff that isn't sycophantic or pointless. Not all blue ticks are idiots but it seems to be a cohort that's heavily represented.
