Aint't that the truth. I saw a tweet reporting on the death of Ursula Haverbeck (German author who was jailed for denying the Holocaust) and the replies are exactly what you'd think they'd be. They're so blatant now it's crazy. It almost feels like I'm going insane. Like, how do these people even exist?

Oh, it's clearly going to drop more. The bigger Bluesky gets the smaller X will get. I imagine it's eventually going to just become another Truth.

He's part of the administration now. Maybe not a bad deal.

I mean, definitely a bad deal for the rest of us. But for Elon, I don't think this can be evaluated purely in twitter stock price.

The pattern of sucking up to Trump is that he vampirically absorbs all the value of whoever lets themselves get taken in by him and then throws them away when they're empty. So there's a non-zero chance that Elon ends up much worse off by the end of the next four years.

He's already much worse off now with all the money he lost on Twitter.

Talking head on Fox News said "he didn't buy Twitter to make money he did it to restore FREE SPEECH in this country"

Lol whatever, company took a nosedive after he owned it.

I have a twitter account that I made in like 2011 and I haven't logged into in about a decade. I wonder what would hurt twitter more. 1 more user with no engagement at all, or one permanently lost member. I may get my password reset just to log in one last time and close the account at this point becasue fuck Elon.

I heard the same thing, that he's thinking of buying MSNBC. Dunno if he's actually gonna go through with it, but that would eliminate the only non right-wing national news network.

Sadly, this may prove to be a good investment for Muskrat, even in a monetary sense.

The amount of government contracts and tax breaks Elmo can get from Trump/Republicans might actually be worth more than 44 billion. If he doesnt get bounced for being annoying that is.

Twitter's financial value is mostly irrelevant now, at least while under Musk, anyway. Its primary purpose now, is to serve as a tool for social & political manipulation of the public, & pressure corporations for advertising market share.

non-zero? I'd say more like almost 100% chance.
