      Yeah, I am not going to bother learning its new name. I’m not calling it x to anyone. If anyone calls it x to me in real life I’m going to pretend I don’t know what they are talking about.

    I cringe to even think of what passes for a Trust & Safety group over there now, and the kind of people they must have staffing it. They don’t have reasons for what they’re doing or even clear knowledge of what they’re doing. It’s a case of amateur jackass thinks he can run the forum better and just happens to have billions of disposable dollars allowing him to pretend he is. It seems almost inevitable given how many rich and powerful people are obsessed with Twitter that eventually one of them would want to just buy it and crown themselves admin as a power fantasy. That’s literally all that happened here.

    What were they even doing on a Nazi platform? Are they going to move to Truth Social now?

    No explanation required. The plan was always to obscure, censor, and otherwise dismantle Twitter. Musk has a team of professional money making C level executives that flank him constantly no matter where he goes and he’s not the sole vote on any of the Boards that he sits on, yet he’s still allowed to be the CEO of a bunch of companies, only one of which is being blatantly mismanaged into the ground. Saudi gave him $22B to buy Twitter. Twitter is tanking and hemorraging money. You’d think the Saudis would have done more due diligence and/or be livid and demanding their money back from the guy that can absolutely pay them back out of his own wealth. Truth is, they’re not doing that because what’s happening at Twitter is exactly what they wanted (Arab Spring was largely coordinated via twitter).

      Totally based. Instead of eviscerating his “enemies” in front of millions of his adoring followers, he quietly dismissed them from his bot-filled cesspool. Based af
