WTF. I'm not sure Twitter will survive this. Might limp along for a while I guess.
Its a hard thing to say, how has Twitter survived this far ?
It hasn't made any real money, its been the ignition for some of the online fights in recent times, its a distraction for most addiction for the rest...

Perhaps Twitter was on its way out anyway (Like Fb, Insta etc) just idling before the next big thing ?
Perhaps Elon is going to re-invent it and give it new life ?

He has certainly made it more relevant again.

wondering the same thing, but like Meta and its metaverse nonsense.
its all about Hype, if there is enough hype things happen.

same with crypto, Musk says BTC is awesome price skyrockets just on hype.
same thing here, just hype and empty promises

This is the proper test for the legal system. It is not twitter's role to regulate peoples perceptions and convictions. It is the law that should be in effect, not domineering assholes. The law system is more sophisticated and more freedom of speech will effectively be at play. Truly unacceptable and unlawful will be charged, if the userbase consists of such idiots then twitter will die, yes, but I doubt this will be the outcome. People will be driven to more responsible and reflective Tweeting

There.

A tiny edit and I can agree 100 percent.

Yes.
This is not about being pro-Trump or anything. But there is absolutely no way in hell this delusional Grandpa and Keklbek got 81 Million votes fairly. (Most votes in US history, Even more than the beloved Obama).

I don't know WTF went on with the elections, if it was thanks to Twitter or what, but there is no way, Absolutely no way Biden is the most loved president ever and got 81 MILLION votes. If this is truly the case, Well then the world is much worse off than I could have imagined.

It seems like he is offending his userbase (note: I'm not a Twitter user myself and never really liked the platform much)
He's also messing the developers around. I'm not a fan of that scale of meddling.
But as others say, it is his company and he is free to do what he wants with it.

But Meta actually makes money selling adverts at least. I think its dying as well but at least has the foundation for a sound business.

I'm also user (I have a profile though) so yes, hard to tell.
It looks like some are ruffled but are perhaps making more of a noise. To me when a plat form really dies its always a quiet one.

Its interesting that he is shuffling the dev's as well because on a technical level I think that Twitter is phenomenal. Its the biggest thing on the web and holds up pretty well ?

Almost all of it....

Why do you find Dinesh D'Souza to be trustworthy, is it because he presents compelling evidence of because he is telling narrative that you desperately want to believe?
Quite ironic in you saying this.

I have no idea who Dinesh is or was before this documentary & could not care less. Also don't live in America so not really too bothered if Trump or Biden won. Its from a pure logical perspective in which one can conclude there is absolutely no way Biden won.

But I'm not going to argue or debate this. If you really believe 81 Million people voted for this absolute imbecile, Then im glad for you my man.

Some people here have a very serious interest in American politics, which makes me wonder if they're not Yanks that happen to have accounts here and they pretend to be South African.

Why, because Trump was such a fine, upstanding human being that you couldn't imagine anyone not voting for him? Am not a Biden fan, but the alternative was way worse. Am curious for you to explain your "pure logic" of why Biden could not have won.

He lost more than 100 lawsuits related to the election.


Republicans also lost the house and senate.


So like Trump and others, you need to get over it now. You're just lying to yourself.

He won because he was running against Trump.

I always said solar, electric cars anything 'green' was a scam and rather a plan to collapse the West and shift world powers.
Well. Even Fossil fuels are green. Everything was powered by the Sun. You are just using it differently. Heating Water, Heating air, instead of directly capturing electrons and exchanging them via a Copper wire until they perform some function.

Maybe people hated Trump that much. Maybe the Republicans' regular disenfranchisement campaigns failed that time. Don't worry they've been hard at work to put measures in place to stop people voting for the wrong person next time. They firmly everyone has the right to vote, as long as they vote Republican.
