Oh yes please.
Please do.
The joy of having my life improved by not being forced to use twitter… oh wait I already dont, find some real problems
Don’t stop with Europe, Dilbert Stark! Get out of Africa, Asia, South America, Oceania, and eventually North America as well!
When can the media just admit destroying Twitter was his plan all along?
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
The simplest explanation is an out-of-touch billionaire who got rich off other people’s ideas and spent his life surrounded by yes-men had an idea that he could reverse the course of a declining social media corporation. He boasted about this, and apparently even convinced himself, enough to make a half-hearted (yet legally binding) offer. He then learned he would lose billions if he backed out of the deal.
Those are the facts. The rest is a fine conspiracy theory, but there’s just no clear, provable evidence. He hasn’t personally benefited in an obvious way, either before the sale, or since. No one can prove the Saudis, Koch Brothers, Trump, or anyone else put him up to it.
Though I’m totally willing to hear evidence I might have missed…
I expect you’re right. Planning and executing such a race to the grave over several years might be beyond him.
Because it wasn’t he’s just bad at business
When he does. Journalism is about reporting, not making claims.
Theoretically but there’s a lot of media out there that’s pretty happy to make any old claim.
Okay, so which media have you seen doing this thing that guy is asking about?
Twitter is too egalitarian for him and his financiers. And tweaking. ThE AgOrIThM for political gain was too much temptation for his financiers.
Mastodon was just the spanner that could be the downfall of their Evil Plan. Zuck tried to detail Mastodon with Threads, but that is going nowhere too, especially in the EU.
With it very quickly starting to become a cesspit, please do. Maybe then more Europeans would adopt Mastodon to get their Twitter fix.
How to create a failed social media platform.
First start with a popular social media platform.
Then let Musk run it for a couple years.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Actually, please get hit by as many doors as possible on the way out.
Oh so this is this week attention grabbing statement from Musk regarding Twitter?
All he wants is attention. This is not happening, like most of stuff he has said during the last months. Paywall and whatnot.
Move on and ignore the guy.
How things used to work 15 years ago, in general:
Government: “You must do the responsible thing!”
Billionaire: “I’ll just move my business to some other country.”
Government: “Noooo!”How things work for Elon Musk:
Government: “You must do the responsible thing!”
Elon: “Fine, I’ll make it so that this service isn’t available on your entire continent.”
Government: “…”
Elon: “You were supposed to go ‘Noooo!’”
Govenment: “…”
Elon: “Not having access to Twitter is a bad thing, isn’t it?”
Government: “…”
Elon: “Guys?”
Government: “…Just go, it’s not like anyone cares about the damn thing.”Do it! Thank you in advance!
“Screw you guys, I’m going home.”
Just shut it down already…
The daily musk spam from enough musk spam
With it very quickly starting to become a cesspit, please do. Maybe then more Europeans would adopt Mastodon to get their Twitter fix.
Enoughmuskspam. - the best source for nonstop musk spam
That is the point of the community, yes.
AFAIK, the name is from back when Reddit still had a positive view of the guy. The subreddit was created as a counter to all the posts painting him in a good light. Nowadays I don’t see the point of this community anymore though.
The point is to concentrate all Musk spam in one place you can block if you don’t want to see it.
Instead of having it infect every tech-community.Yes exactly. I don’t know if they realise what they have become .
You’re welcome to block the community and move on.
….Or stay and make my point. It’s a beautiful system.
You’ve already made your point. Do you think repeating it will help? Otherwise, it seems like you can go ahead and block the community and move on.
Unfortunately for you, your point is incorrect.
