In b4 Elon decides he can do advertising better, too.

Unfortunately advertising doesn't work on the majority of their users who are bots. 🀷

Can't remember the last time I was on Twitter. Turns out I don't need it. Turns out I'm just a little happier without it.

I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.

I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).

Hopefully Musk's shitty little empire crumbles...soon.

any company that advertises with Twitter deserves to go bankrupt and vanish.

"If you’re trying to reach senior decision makers, if you want to reach the most influential people in the world," Musk told Read, "the X platform is by far the best."

I think he greatly overestimates how influential Nazis are.

When I wonder what heaven is like I imagine going a day without thinking about this Elon Musk motherfucker, then I imagine doing that every day forever and I feel a little closer to Jeebus.

I'm surprised more brands aren't simply defaulting to Threads. You still see links to their Xitter profile instead of Threads.

I prefer Mastodon, myself, but I get why major brands would prefer a centralized network.

"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department," he admitted.

A basic statement of human fallibility is an absolute revelation to this guy. I can’t WAIT for him to just shut up and go away.
