Musk was always going to do this. It's amazing how many times Musk lies and people just keep believing anything he says. It's not surprising that Musk likes Trump. Both are pathological liars.
I deleted twitter around the time Elon's bid got approved. I was thinking about it for a while, as the app is just another way to get pissed off at the world.
These moves seem odd given that Elon isn't even the owner yet and still has some ways to go to get it all done.
I am getting the feeling twitter will be dead in a couple of years. End up like Tumblr or something. It will still be there, but it will have lost it's place in the top 20 social media platforms.
I don't have much to add to this, but Facebook couldn't go away faster for me. My account is still active, but I deleted the app on the phone and probably only check my home page once every two weeks.
My friends and family just aren't that interesting when they post stuff or it's awful content. I find myself sharing everything with people I want to interact with over text.
Zuck is a sociopathic asshole, so I hope Facebook fails miserably.
I am glad she was found guilty, but there are a few concerns. First, she was only convicted of lying to her investors, not the actual patients, which is laughable.
Second, she is supposed to get up to 20 years for EACH of the counts (they will be served concurrently so she won't get 80 years). And I am curious as to how much time she will actually serve.
Third, what kind of sociopath has a baby in the middle of a trial where she could go to jail and not see the kid for years???
Fourth, what kind of person meets her, googles her, thinks "it's all bullshit", then proceeds to get in a relationship with her AND have a kid with her. Man this woman is a con artist.
She should get 20 years for the lies she spread and damage potentially did. Messing with people's blood tests for CANCER. So wrong.
We kicked out a bunch of traitors from Congress during the Civil War era, so banning a person from twitter who is actively trying to foster a Civil War by promoting lies and misinformation seems pretty mild.
Banning her or anyone like her who spreads lies is perfectly within Twitter's terms of service. The issues is doing it consistently.
I can't tell you how many times I have reported lies about elections and Covid on twitter and almost always it's "We found nothing wrong with this".
There is a lot going on with this guy. He says a lot of the "right" things and it's pretty clear he has a point with our system being really messed up. The problem with founding a new party is that it has to have a base that is based on something organic and I don't think this guy realizes that.
At best, he can only hope for a party base derived from his personality, which is lacking. Other than that, I don't see any demographic group that he can consider his core group of supporters.
At the very least, it will make people think about the current system and how to change it.
