It's a toxic platform, irrespective of who owns it.
Depends who perceives it toxic now, just because Musk is the owner.
We have seen similar with that crypto guy, losing £35bn in a week.
Crypto and Twitter don't have any real, tangible worth, it's what somebody else is telling you it has.
This isn’t really true at all.
For starters, Twitter is one of the biggest communications tools on the planet, to say it has no intrinsic value is beyond silly.
The US government is currently scrambling to find new ways of making public announcements, because there is nothing better for releasing official news than twitter. We know it had an integral role in the Arab Spring. It’s playing a massive role in getting info out of Iran now, we are all able to follow Ukrainian journalists in the war and read their tweets translated in app to keep us appraised of things that no war correspondent could show.
One of the few things Musk is right about is that it democratised news. These things are valuable literally in terms of money, but also culturally.
It also brings people and communities together, in the same way this forum does, and I think we can all agree Bluemoon does have some value because of that.
Secondly it literally had value as an advertising platform and was making profits off that. 250m daily users is one of the biggest advertising platforms in history and like radio, tv, the adverts down the side of this page, that has value, it’s why the company was worth over $11Bn and growing and employed 7,000+ people.
These benefits far outweigh any perceived toxicity, and if it does actually go belly up, the world will be worse off for the brief moment in time before someone fills the void with a copy of it.
