No advertisers will mean no cancel culture and Dems can't control him for not protecting their narrative. Elon is dangerous to them.

Twitter wouldn't even be in my top 50 as far as sources of factual information.

How does Twitter become "the most reliable source of truth" without steering and adjusting? No social media should ever be a source of truth. I don't consider this TD to be a source of truth. It's basically random grumblings and shock stories for me to look into.

I don't like what Twitter is trying to do. A social media platform, at best, is a barber shop or bar as far as news and information.

Governments are going to come after them. The EU has already thrown veiled threats at Elon. If he starts getting blacked out in countries it could be a problem. He needs users if hes going to go away from advertising as its main source of income.

I don't care for adding context/notes part as that is what comments are for. Maybe finda way to create a filter for some context notes but eventually it'll just got like Wikipedia.

Also, he needs to blast the names of all the advertisers and keep a running tally somewhere people can check whenever.

Without ad revenue how is he going to pay for all the costs of running the business?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m worried Elon will be found to have committed suicide by two shots to the back of the head soon. Leftist have proven time and again to be more than willing to do whatever they deem necessary to squash any threat to their Marxist agenda.

Yep. Called it.

Being beholden to advertisers is what has introduced the now pervasive rot in tech companies.

Cut that out and things would more accurately reflect the nation. Vs ads that target black trans progressives.

Once advertisers understand they aren’t critical to Twitter they will come back in droves. They need the audience after making their cheap headline about not advertising on Twitter.

Something something… we met with Twitter and expressed concerns… blah blah blah…Twitter assured us….

If they want to advertise to the 50% of this country that previously hated Twitter they will be back and I mean fast.

Just how this shite works.

They need to can the “promoted posts” feature. That is the most disinformation pushing thing on the platform. They allow whomever is willing to pay the ability to push a narrative to everyone. A lot of the posts were political or controversial articles from “news” organizations.

Elon Musk reminds me of Bono....good intentions at first, then they begin to believe their own hype...the power and praise feels good. Pretty soon they become the exact same people they rebelled against in the first place.

Without bots and the threat of taking away advertisers... leftists will have to make their own arguments and try to convince others. It may be dark days for Twitter leftists.
