Elon Musk buys $3 billion stake (9.2%) in Twitter and is now the platform's largest shareholder

[Anonymous]

The "viral" kvetching is this, all the SV dead-weight signal boosting each other because they all know they do literally nothing all day for six-figure salaries. The jig is up. Elon is exposing the entire charade.

The next attention lull... watch for attention craver Elon to unban Trump. Boom, new record traffic for twitter.

Agree. For all those who say that Twitter is nbd, people can just move to Insta or Mastodon or whatever, those people are really not thinking. Twitter, and instant access to news and to people, famous and just regular people, all over the world, is a big part of our lives - whether you use Twitter yourself or not. When Twitter is gone, in the near future, it's going to be very different.

You mean like way back in 2007? I don't seem to recall having trouble eating or sleeping in those days.

Yes, I mean the world since 2007 - do you remember 2007? People still had Blackberries and they hadn't rolled out 3G yet.

I think smartphones and their ubiquitousness are a mixed blessing. Maybe we'll be able to go back to the world of 2007 after Twitter dies. Maybe that's a good thing.

Only 23% of adults in the US use Twitter. I doubt a 10th of that number are daily users. So for the majority of people Twitter is not a thing.

Define “use Twitter.” Lots of police departments, departments of transportation, politicians, schools, etc make announcements via Twitter. I don’t have an account on Twitter but I read it quite a bit (or did, anyway). How many more people are there like me?

Exactly. How will important information be disseminated post-Twitter?

I'm sure media can still do their job, the way they used to before Twitter.

He can’t. Not a natural born citizen.

Forgot about that. Thank God!

If you’re not being paid to do this, I feel so bad for you 😂

So now we post no name user's opinion (because they has $8 to get that checkmark) to make point in anonymous forum?

Oh wow... this guy is a lunatic. I cannot imagine staying in a company whose CEO behaves like this!

Traffic at an all time high because people like me - who never go there - are following links to see crazy tweets about this slo mo train wreck.

But I agree elon and Trump should make a deal if they don't already have one: Trump comes back, ups the crazy, draws lots of eyeballs, Twitter saved, Trump wins 2024.

I'm guessing there's fierce producer/writer activity right now to get out there for a movie/HBO miniseries.

Told ya. He's holding off on Trump for when he wants to create a new round of media attention.

It’s like the Twitter version of the Fyre Festival.

I hope he has a camera crew following him. This would be a great Netflix series worth a nice chunk of change.

Our local "red wave is coming" troll has apparently found a new activity.

Trump is a has-been.
