Does that mean they’re prepping to sell to Elon Musk at well above market value only to get enshitified? It’s not clear to me what’s mandatory after you fire JD…

Dorsey was on a tear yesterday, unfollowing all but three accounts on X while referring to Elon Musk’s platform as “freedom technology.”

Ah, I see. He went insane.

Or he is trying to get ahead of some news. Maybe a journalist contacted him about some serious allegations. So now he joins up with Musk, comes out against the ‘woke agenda’ and when the news releases, he can claim its main stream media silencing him.

He’s been a libertarian douchebag as long as he’s been a public figure.

Yes, but a long ass time ago. What’s happening here is that he’s not getting his way over something, or he’s gone and done something that we haven’t heard about that will stain the company and he was removed, or he was told his farts still smelled, and he threw a tantrum.

This has all of the hallmarks of a billionaire baby being told “no” over something for the first time in a while.

I’m seriously wondering. All these billionaire types seem to be getting a taste for attention and can’t help shouting crazy bullshit at the top of their lungs. The louder these people are, the more scrutiny they will receive. Do they believe that will end well for them?

I’m reminded of the Family Guy where a bird lays eggs in Peter’s beard.

So will he just give up already and admit the fediverse is a pretty good idea?

Are you assuming he was the one behind the decision of not using ActivityPub?
