Not sure that he’s popular enough now and he’d need Kim as first lady.

I’m guessing it’ll be to continue making millions with his music.

Music isn’t really his biggest earner though. Art and fashion is.

I know he’s bought a social media platform and still has a lot of real Estate.

Sometimes the left wing press really go overboard lol. I guarantee very little actually changes

Musk didn’t begin the firing, it was already happening.
The US Market is fucked atm.

Isn’t it common for a new owner to reshuffle the executive branch of their new company?

And I heard about layoffs at Twitter pre-Covid because they have a massively bloated workforce.

I do wonder how long it’ll take for a left-leaning twitter successor to be developed. I can see alot of blue check marks leaving if certain people get their accounts back

That platform could be a hit alot of big names leave for it, and regular users follow

The headline was obviously a big fucking clue, but I knew that the levels of melodrama in that article would be hilarious.

I tend to agree that very little will change, in all likelihood, if I had to guess. Lefty hysteria about him taking over and the opposite side rejoicing at the ascendant free speech king will likely end up looking a bit silly for their premature takes.

But at the end of the day, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I was happy to tell the MAGA lot and adjacent crowds to find a new platform if they didn’t like the moderation policies of a private company, so if Musk RIPs twitter as we know it they should move elsewhere.

I don’t particularly care what ultimately happens, I don’t even have a twitter account, that’s how low the stakes ultimately are for me lol

I do wonder why Twitter never tried to monetize until Onlyfans & Substack come into the picture.
The whole ‘maintain users over revenue’ has come back to bite them big time.

The reason Twitter is what it is, is because it’s free. Other than ads, it’s very difficult to monetize.

Elon Musk didn’t even begin and he laid down fair few ideas to monetize twitter

  • Charge institutes
  • Charge blue ticks
  • Allow subscriptions (which is already happening)
  • Allow premium features like edit (which is also happening)

If you have a minute, look at this on YouTube and check out the state of the comments section. Fucking hell.

I know virtually nothing of Lula. Is he not a cunt or just less of a cunt than Bolsanaro?

What do you mean by that?

He’s pretty philisophical and despite talking in analogies a lot, he has a lot of potent points related to success.
