It's hard to separate fact/fiction and coincidence here

But people are noticing that some crackpot Twitter personalities have WAAAAYYY lower engagement this morning. That Brooklyn Dad Defiant douche and Joy Ann Reid who you click on and see 25k likes and go "WTF" are getting hundreds to a few thousand likes from overnight/this morning.

It certainly aligns with the assumption that Twitter was helping prop those people up. It's really going to be insane if there is some way to quantify or show how Twitter systematically boosted the audience for these radicals like 100x over for years

I guess so. And I don’t think many in this thread realize they all have massive buyouts if fired. These execs are popping champagne right now


Not for long. If it is discovered that they committed fraud, IE cooking the books on bots, etc... there can be plenty of lawsuits to claw that back. Elon has a much bigger war chest than some shite heal tech fascist that basically won $20m in a lottery.

Femists are so dumb. They think everyone wants to rape them.

Most aren't touchable.

Elon's next move should be to live stream Stephanie Guevara personally re-enabling Donald Trump's twitter account, then having her escorted out the building.

They left a company that didn't want them and probably took a 50 million with them.

Well reported the CFO takes home at least 25MM if the deal closes.


That's great and all, I wonder how far $50mm goes in San Fransisco, CA these days?

Potato brain leftists are claiming that Twitter will suffer with less moderation.

The lion's share of Twitter's growth happened prior to the 2016 election when there was far less moderation. Hell, as late as 2015, ISIS fighters were openly shitposting on Twitter unabated.

Yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about! Now Elon, be sure and wash you hands in that sink you carried in, and you might should consider hiring a food taster as well.

I'm pretty sure $50M goes a long way anywhere

Good fricking riddance.

Especially that Vijaya bitch. She was so smug and condescending on her Joe Rogan appearance when she went on with Dorsey.

Keith Olbermann loses it over Elon Musk buying the platform and responding to Catturd:

Hi. I'm @elonmusk and I just took $44,000,000,000 and urinated on it and then lit it on fire so I could be the one to reassure a terrified anonymous right wing nutjob troll who fulfills the latest Trumpcult paranoia by self-identifying as a cat that I WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT


Please, Elon, please put Catturd on your new Twitter board. I’m begging you. Seriously, have nothing but comedians and trolls on your board.

I almost want to follow Olberman to see what happens. If he hasn't been role playing an unhinged nut job the last 10 years, this might break him.

We need tons of trolls on the board just to see the Left lose its fricking mind. So long as you aren’t Woke or an actual racist (not like the Left throws out like confetti), I’m open for it. If limited to 12, these would be my choices:

Joe Rogan
Lex Fridman
Michael Malice
Tim Pool
Libs of TikTok
Catturd
Andrew Doyle
Seth Dillon
Matt Walsh
shoe0nhead
Dave Smith
Carl Benjamin

Check out her Rogan interview if you've never seen it. Tim Pool completely embarrassed her. Watching her crawfish and try to explain these ban rules was pathetic.
