    Elon Musk is like the spoiled loser who wasn’t invited to the party, so he buys the whole venue and tries to force everyone to be his friend. Then most people inevitably leave because the party is no longer cool, he’ll throw a classic billionaire tantrum and just fill the place with a bunch of goons who agree with everything he says.

    Right now I’m sure people are saying they won’t drop Twitter but just wait until he tilts all the rules and enforcement on Twitter in favor of the most obnoxious, toxic people who just happen to be Musk supporters, and the place becomes undeniably bad.

      Twitter is already a toxic dump of scum and villany. It’s not like it can be worse.

      In the mean time, Musk promised to open source a lot of stuff, which I see as a big win.

        You truly believe he will make good on his promises? I really don’t get why people believe his nonsense claims.

            I mean, are you not aware of his long history of making great promises (i.e. hyperloop, OpenAI being open source, etc) and then completely failing on those? He doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about when he talks about open-sourcing Twitter’s algorithm, he just knows enough to make it sound like he knows what he’s talking about and people for whatever reason just give him a pass.

        Yeah, Trump’s back baby! They will still keep anti-war/anti-lmperialist folks off though.
