These guys are a bunch of morons. All of the comments here are proving as to why.

  • Associates with AI
  • Wants money to use it
  • Doesn't factor that Twitter might not entirely be available after all
  • Uses Musk's other imprints, like Grok, on it which may subject them to fail
  • More centralized social media is not what we need

I'll give it a few months before they actually are sued into oblivion, to which they'll have the biggest pikachu shocked faces possible.
