Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

Elon seems hell-bent on driving Twitter into bankruptcy for sake of notoriety and revenge on Democrats.

Elon Musk painted over the W on Twitter's sign at its San Francisco headquarters, changing it to 'Titter'

Musk posted a photo of the Twitter sign outside the company's San Francisco headquarters that showed the W painted white to match the background.

It was never user friendly however it has really gone to shit.

Constantly bombarded by 'culture war' stuff that I don't give a crap about.

I’m not even following the pages but I’m getting bombarded by Anti Trans shite

I don't so much defend Elon as try to prevent people becoming complacent. Twitter is still the big draw in social media and is no closer to folding now than it was 6 months ago. Elon CAN carry on like this, as long as he is permitted. I hate seeing people sitting on their hands and cheering as if it's going to the rafters, when it plainly doesn't work like that. It really is going to get worse, and the effects will be greater. The market will not have the effect you imagine. Ever. Social media does not work like that. It works in exactly the opposite way. Elon knows that. People are in total denial about this stuff. If it upsets and offends you, you have to aim the matter back towards the people you vote for.

What we're seeing now is that now the storm has passed, Elon is getting bolder, and is moving towards using the site as a way of shaping what people see. He will be the new fucking Murdoch in about a decade. If he is allowed to. The complacent arrogance about his 'obvious' imminent failure will ensure it happens. People doing this are the gawping crowd that in fact ensures he doesn't fail, he just gets more users.

In the past two weeks, the situation with NPR and the BBC, insisting on labelling them as "State Affiliated Media", implying they are nothing but government propoganda outfits, has led the former to quit.

Perhaps even more troubling is his anti-competitive, anti-freedom of information and speech actions towards the very decent social publishing site Substack.

Twitter removed all sorts of things in any post with links to Substack accounts - no replies, no retweets. They redirected all searches for the term back towards Twitter. The word cannot appear in your popular feed. I'd be horrified if the EU and UK governments didn't regard this worth investigating for abuse.

Substack sample accounts for anyone interested. You DONT have to subscribe. Just hit no. See what you think. Do it. Do something that Elon actually doesn't want.

Finally, if anyone was in doubt about Elon's motivation in signing the 'AI Pause' letter, this ought to clear things up.

Elon Musk's AI ambitions for Twitter show that some of the people calling for the tech to 'pause' seem to be acting out of their own self-interest

Elon Musk was one of the most prominent backers of an AI 'pause.' Now, he's moving Twitter to the forefront of AI development.

He's playing catch up, and would try anything to slow down his competitors.

Weird world we live in...the Dalai Lama sticking his tongue down a child's throat live on camera, the BBC interviewing Elon Musk as some sort of massive scoop (why is this of any importance ?), headlines as to whether Harry turns up for the King's Coronation while his family stays at home in America.

One of the worlds richest people in charge of the worlds biggest social media giant - one of the biggest names on the planet ?

Personally thought he come across quite well in that interview
