Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

I’ll say it again, an absolute cesspit

The government really need to do something about him now has he's becoming more unhinged and dangerous.

Yesterday he reposted a tweet from Britain First showing an image of a fake news story about the government considering building detainment camps in The Falklands. Almost 2 million people saw it in just under 30 minutes before he was obviously told it was fake and he deleted it but the damage was already done as almost 5 thousand people reposted it.

For me one of two things happened. Either he actually thought it was true before being told it was fake thus deleting the post or he knew it was fake but reposted anyway to see what reaction he would he get and to see how far he can push the boundaries.

I'm going for the later

The frustrating thing is, we all know it is but it’s still so addictive and hard to deactivate.

Would ideally need media, sports teams, celebs to come off it.

No it isn’t I did it last week, don’t miss the thing at all, full of bits, twats and porn these days, although the last one was acceptable ;)

I’ve never joined it, I used to look at 8 or so accounts for info but never signed up. Since they stopped non members. Viewing its hardly been a loss. Same when I deleted FB, which actually did wonders for my mental health.

Its not that hard to come off. Just delete the app of your phone. I did. I use threads now. Most info on x also gets posted on threads, you might miss some stuff but you don't have to put up with wall to wall BS. And you end up spending much less time on it.

I was talking more about the wider public. It’s clear millions are addicted to Twitter and can’t be without it. That’s the problem and that’s why Musk can continue his right wing crusade.

Err yeh ?

Ronaldo, Bieber, Lady Gaga etc - they have millions and millions of followers - if they quit Twitter then many users would follow.

I clicked on that profile who was abusing Collymore last night. The amount of awful crap he's allowed to post is staggering. Then you read the comments, pro Hitler etc. Its unbelievable

EDIT: Just seen it's a "parody" account using someone else's picture. The content is still disgusting.

Man's torment over fake Twitter account which stole his photo

I'm not Barry Stanton, says Droitwich man
