Musk’s face is worth an NSFW tag, every time I see his face my mood gets worse.
Dude needs to get off of twitter for his own health and safety. What a cess pool.
Following this on Twitter gives me existential dread.
Anti-vax sentiment dominates the threads, carried by some of the most influential people in the world and an army of blue check sycophants. Genuinely horrifying.
How “influential” are they really, though?
Sure, Joe Rogan has many listeners, but Twitter is pretty much irrelevant for the vast majority of people. It’s a bubble of people who think their opinion is worth blasting out. It only seems relevant because journalists are part of this bubble.
Twitter had (according to its own numbers) 77mio daily active users in the US. That sounds a lot, but if you discount all the bots and people who just use is as a glorified RSS reader, the actual numbers are much lower.
People are stupid and you can’t debate stupid
The three horsemen of the Stupocalypse.
It should be noted that Elon Musk is very much in danger of losing control of Twitter, because he’s defaulting to Twitter’s creditors.
Sure, in less than a year, he’s lost 59% of Twitter’s revenue and the value of the company has fallen 54% by Wall Street estimations. But the real danger is that Musk isn’t paying his creditors, and that gives them leverage. They already have enough leverage, today, right this second to force Twitter into bankruptcy.
