Tell your revenue stream to go fuck themselves. It's a bold move Elon. Let's see if it pays off.

You’re acting like he wants Xitter to succeed. I suspect he wants it dead because he thinks it contributed to his child being trans. And also because some of his financiers don’t want an Arab Spring.

Edit: Either way he’s a piece of shit.

I used to agree with you, but now I really think he's just a narcissist who wants the attention. If Twitter wasn't profitable, the longer he owns it the more money he's going to lose on top of how much he over paid for it. If he really wanted Twitter gone, he could have bought it and just... shut it off.

Like every single techbro, he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and demands the masses worship him for that. He just was lucky enough to have money to buy an entire platform to stroke his ego.

"And let's see how Earth responds to that," Musk replied.

I'm getting strong Kanye vibes from Elon these days.

Musk responded that the advertising boycott is likely to kill the company. "What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company, and the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail,"

When Sorkin pointed out that advertisers see things differently, Musk replied, "oh yeah? Tell it to Earth."

Sorkin continued: "They're going to say, Elon, that you killed the company because you said these things and they were inappropriate things and they didn't feel comfortable on the platform. That's what they're going to say."

"And let's see how Earth responds to that," Musk replied.

I mean… I think that pretty much removes any last doubt anyone might have had that Elon Musk had any grasp on the reality that he himself exists in.

And people aren't using Mastodon because?

[–] letsgocrazy@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mastadon is chock a block with far left crazies.

Lolol you're actually insane

Well he admitted to making a mistake with his previous comment. He's also since then been to Israel and supports their righteous cause.

Let's see what happens. I'm not his biggest fan but I respect that at least there is free speech on his platform, unlike Mastodon, Facebook etc

And even if twitter dies, so what? Elon is loaded. To him it's like a toy broke, but he has many more in the cupboard.

Twitter was useful to a lot of people. More useful than Musk.

[–] danielfgom@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To be honest, 99% of the planet still use Twitter. I also use Mastodon but it's a drop in the ocean.

The only people who left twitter are a handful of offended "liberals". Everyone else stayed.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social -1 points 11 months ago

Let’s talk about the “liberals”, are they in the room with us right now?

Musk says X advertiser backlash is "going to kill the company."

For once I hope you're not wrong, Musk!
