And this is why all news of Elon isn't necessarily good news nor free advertising for him. We don't have to trip over ourselves when he breathes, but when he's a piece of shit? Spread it as much as possible.
At this point, if anybody asks, I never had a Twitter account. It's way too embarrassing to admit otherwise.
No normal public figure/organization would ever to be associated with this disgusting behavior, but this is the inevitable results engagement centric personalized algorithm, as conflicts create the highest amount of user engagement for the platform.
Most public organizations/figures should really think about running federated social media accounts on their own server, because having control over the server is the only way to 100% ensure your freedom of association online.
They just wait until they have everyone kissing their asses and fuck you money, then they let you see who they really are.
Elno fanboys will be like:
He just does that so users can enjoy less ads on X! 5D chess again, he is so smart UwU
This app once sparked social changes and political revolutions. People used it to hold the guilty people accountable.
Then Elon bought it with funding from Saudia Arabia and a few others.
Then he made all the cartoonishly wrong changes. Now the app is dying.
It doesn't feel like incompetence to me. It feels like the app was murdered by the rich and the powerful for whom 44B isn't that big of a deal.
He needs to have Mypillow come and advertise his last remaining dollars.
Yaccarino responded later on Thursday, writing that X has been “extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination.”
To be fair, this is true. Elongated Muskrat is making it very clear what their efforts are.
The nuts and bolts are loose on this one boys.
