Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

[JASR]

Musk waking up this morning like someone with a hangover after a huge bender last night opens his wallet - looks and....

"oh Nooooooo - $44bn !!! I did forty fucking four billion dollars in last night - what have I done??"

I’m sure there’s a brilliant downfall parody awaiting someone to do about him realising he’s spaffed 44b

Blue Moon is still my home, but my new job means Twitter might be easier too for some things like transfer gossip.

I thought you weren’t in a position to hear ‘info’ with your new job? Or is it that ‘inside’ people will still be letting you have news?

If people can only access a certain number of tweets each day, how are they supposed to be told how to think and how will they know for sure what offends them?

Musk and Twitter getting sued by various companies including the monarchy. Musk has lost the plot.

Britain’s Crown Estate, an independent commercial business that manages the property portfolio belonging to the monarchy, in January began court proceedings over alleged unpaid rent on Twitter’s London headquarters.

PS. I used to search Twitter about Manchester. It usually turned up loads of different and interesting things about Manchester. Now it just turns up Manchester United. Binned Twitter.

Close to binning it off now. The user experience has become progressively worse since Musk acquired it, and this “rate limit exceeded” error feels like the final straw. Will be interesting to see if a viable alternative becomes available/popular enough in the coming months.

A personal account or the Bluemoon one? I can’t believe such a pioneering businessman has messed up as badly as he has with Twitter.

I quit Facebook ages ago, embarrassing site for needy and self obsessed people.

Musk buying twitter for $40billion odd has to be one of stupidest business decisions of all time.
