Does anyone here actually use Twitter
I look at it like the news except not funneled through some arbitrary writer hired by someone. It's people you've actually grown to trust over time.

That really depends on who or what.

But yes, generally I do not trust cable news or political opinions.

I believe it. It's not uncommon for CEOs/upper management to have visions not based in reality; it's just that, as you wrote, there's normally a level of management whose job is to keep them in check. Twitter doesn't have that, and we all have been witnessing the consequences.
The only reason Tesla and SpaceX have been successful is because they have whole teams of people whose only job is to insulate Musky from the rest of the company (and vice versa). Musky asks for something stupid and they say "Sure thing, boss" and then turn around and tell the engineers "Just ignore him and keep doing what you were doing".

And he has no idea this is going on.

Twitter, on the other hand, never had to deal with the likes of Musk before, so there was nobody to run interference. People listened to Musk's insane demands and tried to follow them. And now everyone gets to see exactly how dumb he really is.

I'm not sure it's that so much as he fired anyone that didn't listen to him. I'm sure most of the people following his orders knew they were stupid and insane, they just enjoy being able to exchange money for food and shelter.

To be fair, that is every CEO of every company ever.

A management job is basically taking the flood of sewage coming from on high and forcing it into a more manageable flood down below.

Ever since Musk took over and alt-rightoids are 90% of the content Twitter has become a good place to call people morons all days, which is rather appealing

Ugh, I generally dislike agreeing with rev, but my take on it is especially with Musk getting rid of things like proper account verification, fact checking, and increasing right wing and authoritarian voices compared to other outlets, hes enhanced twitters ability to propagate misinformation and rally certain elements. Its collapse would cut off one more major, well known, avenue for all of that to be disseminated.
Oh no, the left wing paradise is crumbling!

Not really. A lot of the wannabe Nazis jumped ship in protest and went to Parler or one of the other havens for wannabe Nazis, but on the whole the algorithm still preferentially showed people right-wing content.

I'll ask you the same question I ask everyone who tries to peddle this nonsense: What did you want to say on Twitter that you believe you would not have been able to say before Musk took over?

Like everyone else I've asked, I expect you to either not answer, evade the question, or fall back on "anything right-wing!" instead of saying anything specific, but I figure I'll give you the chance to out yourself as either having no idea what you're talking about or as holding particularly detestable views that nobody should hold.

As someone who had always found Twitter stupid and pointless, I delight in it's destruction, while simultaneously causing suffering to Musk. I do feel for the all the employees that got shot canned by him, though.

But seriously, destroying one of the most iconic company logos for a fucking generic X is just so...Musk.

uh, no. your opinion of them is irrelevant.

the facts are that they were on a major hiring spree, with an excellent benefits package, and a fairly decent work environment.

which all went to hell after elon purchased them, to the point where they straight up weren't even able to pay for their offices.

i don't give a shit what you think about the customer facing portion of twitter, i'm talking about the actual company.
