You know, I’ve been resisting the “he’s trying to kill Twitter on purpose” conspiracy theories, but…

Twitter allowed citizens too much power, Elon took that power away.

Yeah, i don’t understand why this isn’t more of a topic, whenever there are discussion about damages caused by Musk’s takeover…

Mostly for USA, Twitter was something you could rely on. Hurricane? Twitter had the latest and most helpful information in no time.

Even the government’s Amber Alert was tweeted officially. When Twitter was suddenly behind a login, there were weeks where access to life saving information was blocked.

Also, all kinds of groups around the world were organized around Twitter. One could say Twitter would have been able to organize revolutions.

Musk, the clown, manages to draw all the attention to his bullshit behavior, while the death of twitter is probably met with great joy by some important people we never hear much about.

Actually, i can’t really tell, if Musk is doing this, with the intention of fucking Things up or if this is really what he believes to be a good take on handling his Twitter arc.

I wish, we had less Trump & Musk poisoning our lives with their vulgar existence.

I think it’s more that Elon on a fundamental level doesn’t understand Twitter. He thinks he does, and that’s the problem. He only understands Twitter as he personally uses it. All other use cases don’t exist to him, because he assumes his experience is THE universal Twitter Experience. So you’ve got a Reply Guy who really wants to be a Poster trying to mold Twitter into what will make him that.

Twitter isn’t special, nobody needs a single fucking service stood up. Fuck Elon but fuck all these Twitter simps too.

So many alternatives, and if your response is “yeah but they’re not all in one place”, good! No private company should be THE “town square”

Oh boy poor Elon Musk, now the ADL (Anti Defamation League) is sabotaging him again. How they do it IDK, but who else could it be?

Good that Elon Musk is taking his strong case against them to court. Because one thing is 100% sure, it’s not Elon Musk and his very clever decisions that are the cause of the problems for the thing formerly known as Twitter.

Hold on Elon, you have this.
