Is Musk Gob?
It was dying of natural causes when he bought it. Elon just held a pillow over its face to speed things up.
If you ever needed proof that people/companies worth lots of money didn’t earn it, you can look at twitter as a great example. He pretty much did everything wrong. Massively overpaid for it, lowered the companies valuation significantly, lost a lot of users, advertisers etc.
Somehow it still exists and is relavent and hadn’t hurt musks wealth.
Twitter used to be a very effective tool for spreading information (good or bad). It was often used by people protesting against their governments to organize gatherings, events and all sorts of stuff.
Then coincidentally when the USA desperately needs something like that, it is no longer around.
Twitter is isn’t even an open platform anymore since Musk took over, which completely defeats the purpose of this application—if you need an account to see content, it’s hard to say that it’s still a platform for public statements, since the content simply isn’t publicly available.

hadn’t hurt musks wealth.
He’s lost billions, I’m not sure what gave you that idea.
And I’ve noticed X being referenced in news articles etc far less than it used to be, and Bluesky being referenced far more. The platform has definitely lost relevance.

Oh, definitely. But to say he hasn’t lost money is just wrong.
He lost money but this didn’t impact him. His life style or anything. 20 billion is nothing for him.
Yeah, I guess it’s not clear, but I didn’t mean he literally lost zero dollars, I mean his “worth” essentially hasn’t changed. The numbers moved a bit, but otherwise it’s business as usual
Except this time its not funny
No no he’s not dead, he’s, he’s restin’! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn’it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
It’s pining for Fords.
*Fjords?
Ford v Tesla
Ford v Ferrari was alright, definitely don’t need this sequel though
Ford v Chevy: battle for the fatasses.
Don’t look directly at the fnords.
Yo where’s that emo picture of Musk where he’s like trans or something?
I think it’s kinda funny walking back and forth between left-wing and right-wing spaces because depending on where you are, the world is in vastly different places according to both.
Something like Twitter has never done better and bluesky is on its way out according to right-wing spaces. Meanwhile here, people are talking about how Twitter is dead and bluesky is on the rise.
I can’t confirm or deny either because I refuse to use either service, but I do find it both amusing and a little concerning just how far apart from each other these two camps are when it comes to having a read on what’s happening in the world.
The whole concept is a proven failure. People just don’t have that many insightful things to say.

Wow. Maybe a word-a-day calendar would help. https://www.thesaurus.com/
I hope no one tries to bring back gay as an insult with this kind of subjective masterbation.

Twitter is going to give us full Dead Internet theory. The only real humans left on there see all the bots and can’t tell them apart because the people are idiots in the first place.
That being said, Bluesky seems to be 30% bots when I rarely get on it, and maybe I’m just not seeing the daily active users, but my spouse just stopped checking it because nothing punching her cortisol button was happening there.
So, what you’re telling me is that both sides are right and wrong simultaneously :b
Tbh, Dead Internet Theory applies almost everywhere.
Lemmy might just be far too small for it to work here. (For comparison, measured by activity and monthly active users, Lemmy is smaller than both the Linus Tech Tips form and the Crackberry forum.)
A large user base of gullible morons is exactly what advertisers want though
He’d be pushing up the daisies if you hadn’t nailed him to the perch!
omg what is this from, I ve seen so many times
billy Madison??
Dumb and Dumber
My hovercraft is full of eels.
Ah, down the hall, second door on the left.
Wrong skit
They mean to win Wimbledon.
Now if only people would keep leaving it
This is a confusing meme, because in the skit the parrot is dead when bought. It had been nailed to its perch to make it look alive and the seller told a series of funny lies. The bulk of the joke is how unreliable the pet shop clerk is.
In contrast, Twitter was obviously in bad shape (that’s why Musk was making a buy offer in the first place), the board was not interested in selling until he made a wildly over-value offer, and Musk immediately tried to back out of the sale and had to be forced to comply with the deal he’d made.
It’s obviously a spin on the original
It’s blasphemy, that’s what it is. (against the joke/Money Python - Musk can eat shit sandwiches for the rest of his life)
Pretty sure those bags thrown out the window were Door Dash for Elon.

This is a good thing
Twitter? I thought this was Ipswich!
