After the election win, I am no longer that certain in how bad of an investment Twitter was for Musk.
It probably helped the Trump campaign somehow, even if not decisive.
And he will probably get billions in AI subsidies which he will partially spend on licensing Twitter content for AI purposes.
Yeah he didn’t buy a social media site, he bought a propaganda platform
and the difference between this one and truth social is you don't have to advertise it to get people to join, since half the population was already on it anyway and most people are too stubborn to leave
I have a friend that complains about Twitter non stop but refuses to leave. I mock him every time he brings it up.
BlueSky is a viable alternative, if they find Mastodon too crunchy/not populous enough
...you should mock anyone who links to xitter; it only succeeds on the basis of their patronage...
