2. Good grief. Twitter is an addiction like Fortnite

Musk seems to be spending almost every waking hour on twitter now, just like trump used to do. This whole twitter phenomenon reminds me of when a friend asked me about what he could do about his teenage son. The kid would be late for school, grades were going down, he'd come home after school, skip or hurriedly eat dinner, and cloister himself in his room playing a video game until he was forced to go to bed. Why are over a dozen "journalists" wasting their time in a "space" to begin with? Gabbing it up with other supposedly competing "journalists?" Shouldn't they be spending their time doing actual work like writing stories? Meeting people face to face?

3. Twitter is over.

Elon has deemed it so. The only real journalists are the ones that he is banning. Stupid people are welcome to post in a fact free Twitter environment.

8. He's one thin-skinned man/child alright.

If there's any criticism of the head-twit he halts the conversation or digital chat and wipes any trace of it from existence.

That gives employees of every company he owns, along with shareholders of those same companies, extreme confidence that those companies are in stable, capable, hands.



I've said it before, Musk needs an intervention and a long course of mental healthcare. He is not right in the head.

10. Elon may not be the richest man in the world anymore

But he is still the richest loser.

11. I'd love to delete my account but I have so many funny tweets bookmarked!

No problem staying away—it’s kind of cesspool-y now anyway—but I don’t want to lose all the tweets that made me laugh, or think. Does it help at all if I just avoid it without definitively leaving?

12. Free speech my ass.
