I just can't believe anyone still uses Twitter for any purpose.
At this point remaining active on the platform is more or less unethical.

i love how irrelevant elon made twitter. like the big companies may not be on alternative networks but you also dont see hashtags and advertisements to discuss something on twitter anymore like you used to in the 10s
Unfortunately that was his task. Twitter was a pivotal tool in the Arab spring, second largest investor in Twitter after musk were the Saudis. Musk is such a try hard wannabe goon that when the "real" money told him they'd think he was cool if he bought and fucked up Twitter (and they would totally let him ride dirtbikes with them when he was done!) he jumped at the chance.
I honestly believe that he was backed into a corner and this was his out. His mouth wrote checks he literally couldn't cash, and when he was forced to fork over the money, the spiteful little shit was like "Ok, well these oligarchs would like to see Twitter festroyed anyway, so let's do that."
Yes and no, he didn't want it as much as he wanted the attention. When he was trapped, they told him they'd be buddies and directly/indirectly support his other projects if he played ball. Plus, they all probably have the true depth on his Epstein stuff and they all wave kompromat over each other's heads and threaten with a smile.

everyday I'm thankful that Musk is not an US born citizen and cannot run for office. It's the only thing stopping him
It keeps you out of the Pres and VP office, but there are plenty of other offices.
I think he prefers the passenger seat of his jet plane.
There's almost a 0% chance musk gets even remotely close to any cali government position with just public voting
Literally a laughingstock
So is Trump, but see how that went.
I live in Devin nunes former district. One just south is kevin McCarthys.

twitter?
Is anyone the least bit shocked at the "rules for thee" behavior from these subhuman pieces of shit? Why are we allowing them to be in charge of anything again?
Because people won't leave Xitter. Mastodon was propped up expressly as a replacement, but the bird yet lives.

I hope Harris wins and I really hope she is a petty and vindictive person that goes out of her way to make Imon Ketamusk's life a pain in the ass.
You don’t even need to be petty and vindictive to correct the situation where a single unelected person has that much power.
The video mimics Ms. Harris’s voice, but instead of using her words from the original ad, it has the vice president saying that President Biden is senile, that she does not “know the first thing about running the country” and that, as a woman and a person of color, she is the “ultimate diversity hire.”
Here you go.
God that's bad. This is what I'd expected Russian trolls to do on Lemmy before getting down voted into oblivion, but I wouldn't expect a CEO to do this. This is fucked up.

But of course. That is why he bought the company -- to become un-bannable.

“Nobody can hurt my feelings ever again!”
Does that mean Musk is a snowflake?
He's always been one.
In a statement, the Harris campaign said, “The American people want the real freedom, opportunity and security Vice President Harris is offering; not the fake, manipulated lies of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.”
Perfect.
I love this "Emasculate the fragile strong men snowflakes." It's pretty effective.
