who else but a genius would buy a social media company, remove the things that made it functional and useful, reintegrate and allow to overpopulate elements that made it worse, and destroy a multi-billion dollar icon and name render useless a word that the thing you bought created and is universally understood because he thinks calling stuff X is cool?
not only a genius but ta soooper genius.
I just can’t imagine the galaxy level intellect that can take a brand whose name was the action and completely ruin the branding and change it to something generic.
You know he did on purpose right? He wanted to destroy it and make unfucuntional. Twitter was a great place for people to organize and allowed people to get access to breaking news faster.
Also progressive politicians and activists could gain a following and get their ideas to millions.
Also it was a great way to take grievances straight to corporations. If you had problem or terrible service and posted to Twitter most times they jump to fix the issue since your post could be seen by their followers etc.
It had a lot great benefits and was a nice tool to fight against the 1%. He saw that and why he wanted it so bad.
It’s also why he destroying it all done on purpose.
Because he wants to also use it to push fascism into the mainstream. The fact that people still use the site and won’t stop posting articles about Elon just shows that people still care about the site.
I say we focus on an alternative site and make it mainstream and fuck x or Twitter whatever the hell he wants to call it.
I think you’re giving him way too much credit. Ever since the PayPal days he had this idea for an, “everything app,” a digital-marketplace/wallet/messaging/social media/anything-else-you-could need-online-app called X. The concept and name are profoundly stupid, but he was so dedicated to his vision he got booted from PayPal because he wouldn’t give up on it. I think it’s much more like he legitimately believes he can make Twitter into this bloated super-app (and maybe make some changes for the right-wing trolls that support him along the way) rather than slowly killing the app he payed $44 billion to aquire.
