Elon Musk

True but even if its half true. Those 7k people all had a job. Big corps don't run much slack, they avoid and delay every cost they can. You have to justify spending money so every person's salary has to be justified. Randomly dropping to half the work force will cause chaos.
But that can't be true, because some bloke with a blue tick on Twitter (must be someone important) said he watched a TikTok from someone who works at Twitter showing that her job is just playing table tennis and drinking lattes all day.
 
More users cost them money when combined with lower advertiser revenue.

when its the worlds richest man is he that bothered ? I'm enjoying the implosion and hope it lasts - but part of me think he's loving all this and when the storm dies down, Twitter will carry on as usual
 
Not bollox mate. See no use for the platform.
Yeah, but, see, how it works is, YOU "see no use" but -- and this is important -- lots of OTHER people DO see a use.

I could be wrong, but I think people find things become more cumbersome and complicated, and problems harder to explain and solve, when recogniz(s)ing that the world doesn't revolve entirely around them.

Mr. Musk is demonstrating his lack of grasp of this concept via his management of Twitter in fact.

Fucksake calm down. Twitter is a load of crap to keep you interested in more crap. Fill up your days if that what you need to do.

Your opinion on what I think is nothing but dog turd. Waste of time replying to my post. Go back on Twitter and tweet away. I think it’s a load of crap. Deal with it!

I’m sure musk will take your opinion into consideration lol.

He’s more likely to agree with our misty friend in California than your viewpoint.

Twitter is used by most governments and companies to communicate with their citizens/customers.

For that alone, Twitter is a more vital communication system than any other form of social media.

Correct, and for me, who gathers information and writes about/rates stocks and companies for a living, I learn a tremendous amount from the 40-50 or so industry folks who tweet regularly (I almost never tweet -- only a couple of times a year, and if so, it's about City).

It's the best singular repository for real-time trends and "bits and pieces" that form pictures and patterns (investors call this the "mosaic theory" of information-gathering).

And so Twitter helps makes me money, because it helps contextualiz(s)e the advice I give clients . . . and, as John Belushi said, "it don't cost nothin'."

Yep, Twitter is what you make of it. If you surround yourself with idiots, you’ll hate it. Surround yourself with local businesses, experts in fields you hold genuine interest in and certain news pages and you’re golden.

Ignoring the idiots is key too though.

I don’t think I’ve sent a tweet for nigh on a decade.

It's undeniably easy to go down rabbit holes for sure -- every thread is pockmarked with idiots spouting off about what they don't understand, trolling like demons. So I tend not to read threads -- I just gather info from the folks I either know personally or trust off tweets themselves, not replies.

Twitter is absolutely what you make of it. Follow the right people and it becomes an incredibly educational and useful place. Fun and entertaining too. I've almost certainly made a living from it as well, as have loads of people I know. I often find those who dismiss it as a load of nonsense don't really use it or understand it. It's far more than most think it is.

Like Facebook it has been a tool for the spreading of lies and misinformation to the gullible, just because some people make money out of it doesn't mean it's commendable in any way.

There's also the snobbery, those who use it to run a business looking down on the Cat memers, isn't there places like Linkeden for people who want to act a little sophisticated without the riff raff clogging the place up?

Twitter has been class over the years , was at its best when Forest Echo News was around. Superior to Facebook, shame Elon has took over it. I honestly don't think you understand Twitter at all.

I know all I need to know about it, it's just a circle of people nodding to whatever narrative they want to believe. It's a huge echo chamber and whoever uses it and likes it believes they are using it the correct way.

If you want to run a business whilst watching a beheading or spread a rumour then dip your bread.

100 % Right.

Where all the Sheeple go for their daily brain washing and disinformation. Where narratives on huge geo-political events were being decided by a select few compromised individuals.

Literally posters were insta-banned for having alternative opinions. Spreading truth, especially during Covid.

It had become an Echo chamber for the far Left "woke" unhinged and gullible.

You only need to look over there now at how hysterical they are all getting because Musk dare break up the Status Quo/Far Left Woke Monopoly of the Site.

I am undecided on Elon Musk .Got to say though he is an epic Troll, and he has the Woke eating Carpet right now.

Don't forget that only the gullible were taken in by Russian bots on Facebook and Twitter, the savvy people were never ever taken in at all because they could tell the difference between fact and fiction.

Twitter should just be for the "Right" people, and they should rename it nod and sigh.

So have forums, which you're using here, newspapers, which you read I presume, radios, which I've no doubt you listen to, YouTube, which I've got no doubt you watch etc etc. We could do this for any form of communication tool used by the general public. Twitter is no more culpable than anything else online. Seems your problem here is with people.

As for your second paragraph, well it's just a bizarrely niche complaint so not sure what to say. Cat memers being victims of snobby behaviour at the hands of business owners on twitter? Eh? I had no idea small businesses were attacking meme accounts that post cat pictures. A surreal thing to moan about.

Haha you use 'woke' and 'sheeple'.

Literally never seen a single beheading on there. Who the fuck are you following?! As I said, people who moan about twitter don't understand it or use it.
