Elon Musk Buys Twitter

Well that looks like one of those European news outlets Winter Blossom keeps talking about.

Just your typical "Muslims have free speech in this country, therefore it's going to become an Islamic theocracy any day!!!" horseshit. Probably from the same people who are perfectly happy pretending that the USA is their own personal Christian theocracy already.

Hey now, let's not judge her unfairly. She's also a full-on white supremacist who was pushing racist bullshit against Obama back in the day. She's not just Anti-Muslim;

Twitter and Musk are doing good.

There's talk about a cage match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. I think it will be funny to see a billionaire brawl hosted by Dana White and the UFC. The fight would probably be boring compared to a professional fight but I guess it would still be worth doing for the views.

One day society will laugh how we allowed egomaniacs to such singular holds on technology,

lol you think society won't allow billionaires to own tech companies in the future? That's not true.

assuming we make it that far.

Civilization is just getting started. In the future society will laugh at our generation because we thought that civilization is collapsing even though it's experiencing incremental progress.

Twitter and Musk are doing good.

By what metric? it cannot be financial they are currently being sued for not paying their bills and compensation. It's not strength of the platform they can barely host an audio only for DeSantis. Let me guess you fee fees and your faith in Elon.

Twitter and Musk are doing good.

Twitter, a website whose revenue depends almost entirely on advertising engagement, is having to restrict the ability of its users to engage with it because of technical problems. And Musk, despite his purported wealth, cannot meet his financial obligations either through paying severance packages or rent.

No, habibi, they're not "doing good."

The people who read history books now know how many times and how close it has come to ending, I am not sure what you are smoking. Sometimes it was literally one person saying no and not following protocol that saved us from Armageddon.

There is in fact truly neat shit in the horizon.

And conservatives like Musk are fighting tooth and nail to make sure we get there as slow as possible.

Didn't the Musk vs. Zuck thing get called off because Musk's mum said he wasn't allowed to?

As for saying Twitter is doing good... Fuck me, those must be some good drugs.

I just figured that their unit of measurement for success, considering this and the Texas thread, seems to be "how deep of a hole can you dig", so it does make sense

Before Musk took over, Twitter was a money burning machine. Now it is literally a cash incinerator.

Australian firm sues Twitter for $665,000 for not paying bills

Which should have been chump change for Twitter. He is another one that is not chump change.

Twitter Sued For $250 Million By Music Publishers Claiming Copyright Infringement

According to Musk himself, Twitter currently has a net revenue of -2B per year. Knowing him, the actual number is likely considerably higher.

Tweetdeck is going to be pay to use only.

Do you honestly believe the shit you say?

Twitter is a dumpster fire by every measure and the fight isn't going to happen because Musk's mommy won't allow it.

Tweetdeck is going to be pay to use only.

At this point, isn't it a bit useless to link to twitter since like... most people can't actually see what's posted?

It's all so hilarious because this basically acknowledges that Twitter's users cost the company more during basic browsing than they bring in for the company via generating ad revenue.

Crazy that when you devalue users and drive away advertisers willing to pay more for brand-safe advertisements that your platform sorta falls apart.

I remember back when we were all young and naïve and assumed he would basically blunder his way back into the policies/practices Twitter had before he bought it. I guess we underestimated his incompetence and/or willingness to sink the site.

You'd think they could have looked at all those "free speech" Twitter imitators that launched to service all the bigots, trolls, and misinformation brokers that kept getting banned from Twitter and subsequently flopped because nobody, especially advertisers, want to be in those spaces.

You have an incredibly poor definition of "doing good," 'cause they're not.

Twitter isn't doing well at all. The site repeatedly keeps breaking for some reason or another, and every time it does Elon uses duct tape to fix it. The site is hemorrhaging money as twitter blue users are way below what Elon originally expected them to be. He thought most normal people would get it and it would be the random bots that would be weeded out. Instead only MAGA brain rot and Elon sycophants buy twitter blue.

We know the company is losing money at a tremendous rate, Twitter is in several lawsuits across the world because of its content, the ruling of those lawsuits have yet to be decided, but could cost the company even more. The site itself is literally buckling under the pressure of code that was written to self DDOS, meaning Twitter itself is using excess bandwidth that it doesn't even need to be using.

Again, mark my words, Twitter is going to be used to put a thumb on the scales of the 2024 election, a thumb heavily pushing for the twice indicted, rapist, seditionist, national secret thief Trump. Once that's over it's likely going to be left to rot. Russia is at a precipice, where if it doesn't get a friendly agent into the white house to hand Ukraine to Russia, they really will lose the Ukraine war. So of course one of the big issues Trump is running on for 2024 is that he'll end the Ukraine War in a single day. He hasn't said how, but we all know he plans to hand it over to Russia.

While I don't dispute that there may be, or at least have been, plans to use Twitter as a means of influencing the 2024 election, it's ability to do so is dropping precipitously.

Search Engine Roundtable found that Google had removed 52% of Twitter links since the crackdown began last week. Twitter now blocks users who are not logged in and sets limits on reading tweets.

According to Barry Schwartz, Google reported 471 million Twitter URLs as of Friday. But by Monday morning, that number had plummeted to 227 million.

"For normal indexing of these Twitter URLs, it seems like these tweets are dropping out of the sky," Schwartz wrote.
