This is something I'm genuinely worried about, as most still use that site for every breaking news story. Everyone keeps saying that whatever stupid policy Elon uses will kill the site but it hasn't at all.

Twitter/X is kind of at a "too big to fail" moment right now - minor changes like a premium subscription isn't really enough to get people to change their habits enough to bother dropping Twitter. Musk has to really go overboard in order to actually turn people away (like that rumoured plan about a subscription for regular use) That's not to say it's making money or anything, but unless Musk actively burns everything down, Twitter/X will be sticking around long enough to definitely have an active role in the 2024 election. ...

It's a near certainty he will try. Just before the 2022 midterms he made a tweet directly encouraging people to vote Republican.
That seemingly didn't help the Republicans much though, so he might try to be more subtle about it this time around. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." ... Copied to Clipboard!

All media companies influence elections and all of them are owned by billionaires.
Whatever influence twitter has on elections, it still pales in comparison to the influence fox/msnbc/cnn have on them. We have an ancient voter population that can barely navigate facebook, much less twitter. --- lions and panthers oh my ... Copied to Clipboard!
