Anyone else find it ironic that journalists go to twitter to complain about twitter?

It's a medium of communication, so no, not really.

+1 It’s not their fault that Elon purposely ran it into the ground. That’s a platform so many places used as news disseminators and I literally mean alerts and such like “are the fireworks going on despite the rain” earlier this summer. Twitter is now busted and unusable.

Yet people still use it. Elon has proven that he can curate material however he likes and change on a whim and journalists will still draw traffic to his app

Journalists and some policy folk definitely feel they still need to be there, in case there’s newsworthy stuff there. The rest of us, not so much.

I’m trying to love Thread, and slowly friends are moving over there, but I’m not thrilled with the whole metaverse and at the moment I’m just getting a lot of cute pet content.

I don't think Threads will catch on but it does leave a whole for another competitor to come in.

Role back the name to twitter because x is never catch on and let people browse tweets without logging in. People need to see content in order to want to react.

The times that Instagram throws Threads posts on my timeline always feels as if they’re written by AI. They’re just kind of meaningless words strung together.

It sucks that Elon bought Twitter to destroy it. When the media was doing a crap job of covering the meaning of Donald Trump and his vile party, a lot of journalists on Twitter had a lot of information. I don’t think it’s coincidental that Twitter is effectively dead.

Someone posted on 10/27 that Twitter usage was down 30%; I wonder how much further it’s plunged.

Helping to save the environment by popularizing electric cars, lobbying Congress about the dangers of AI, giving the Ukraine the communications help to fend off Putin via Starlink, and launching satellites into space > talking to people I don’t like. But maybe that’s just me, ie, someone who judges people based on the sum of their actions and not whether they talk to bad people or hurt my feelings with a tweet.

I thought it was a conservative principle that you pay your debts. Apparently that only applies to people with student loans and not billionaires.

I love when examples of his corruption/incompetence/willingness to bully and coerce are exposed.

It says the amount is $55B, but I think that was the amount based on the old stock price. I wonder what this is worth at today’s prices. Does he have to give back the shares, or the amount in cash at the time they were granted?

I think the board’s compensation committee needs to come up with a different compensation structure that’s not quite so subservient.

A federal court is enforcing a subpoena for Elon Musk to testify before the SEC over potential violations of securities laws in connection with his purchase of Twitter

I muted him. I am sure others did, too. He's really boring and terrible on Twitter, possibly elsewhere.

Apart from that loser’s engagement dropping, I am curious how dead Twitter is among real people. I don’t go there anymore. There’s no point to it; it’s best to let the Republican wolves just eat it.
