Another alarming stat is 25% of users generate 97% of content. So you have a platform with 60m genuinely active users, really not that big of a hurdle for a new startup to overcome. I see now why he tried to back out of it.
Elon Musk | Owner of X and complete loser

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

What a fecking joke.
Now I'm mad I just started using Twitter, thanks to the Ukraine war, for news.
I wonder if I use the website instead of the app if I can block the ads. For scientific research purposes.

Him and binary are one the same pageHis idea of centre ground isn’t centre ground when he thinks democrats are the radical left ffs
The disastrous abortion also known as the metaverse which that creepdo tries to make a thing does not help either.
Grim
What a fecking joke.
Dear christ.
What a fecking joke.
Minutes after Musk takes control you see the N-word trending says it all. That's the "free speech" that the right wants. What a joke.
The only good that come out of this is for Twitter to crash and burn and become like Friendster.

Comparing Kanye to Musk
Why not? Kanye was an extremely successful billionaire (not a billionaire after the last few days I gather). He's clearly very good at making money. Elon is even better at making money. Does that make them smart? Elon isn't a scientist or an engineer or anything.
Things not looking so cheery over on Twitter at the moment. Kanye's account has been reinstated, but he has yet to Tweet. He's probably thinking the most moronic and offensive thing he can.
And you can just tell Elon wanted Trump back by now. I bet he's just weighing up the potential cost before he makes his final decision. Without Ads, Twitter is dead.

Almost as if the right never seems to win the popular vote and it kills everything they touch because of it
I think musk will play the game with twiter. Not only for the money but because of the ego. It would scar his ego so much spending 44 bn and go the myspace route and see the world laughing at him
I'd be interested to see how much he sees this as a business opportunity and how much it's a political / power/ ego move.
For what it's worth, I like Twitter. I think with some more UX tweaks it can be a great platform.
I don't know what Musk exactly has in mind though.

Has a degree in physics, but don’t let that stop you.
If you think their intellect is comparable, enjoy your opinion!
No, I have been tracking the "Community Firehose" but have not found other groups or people to follow. Not 100% sure how it works but the posts on the Firehose seem downright normal compared to the nuttery on other social media sites.
Thank god I don’t use Twitter for anything only browsing. I don’t think I’ve ever even sent a message on there.
Not that bothered. My Twitter name and profile pic is Fabrizio Romano. My only use for it is the shite banter I have with my mates ‘Here we go, John Smith is a cnut’
He has a bachelor's degree, that barely qualifies as a degree. It certainly doesn't make anyone a physicist.
What a fecking joke.
For feck sake
Remember when those guys left the Caf to set up a rival forum because they couldn’t spell feck or cnut properly?
How’s that going on….
People weren't allowed to say "nuclear" before?
He's like Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro. One of those more well-known conservative folks.
Like I said enjoy your opinion.
Elon Musk a scientist
Never heard of him and now I'm glad I haven't. Sounds like a waste of oxygen.
Wrong. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics.
I must be Mozart and Bill Gates combined with my two Bachelor's degrees
always knew they weren't entry level shite and toad has now confirmed it.Wrong. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics.
I must be Mozart and Bill Gates combined with my two Bachelor's degrees
I saw that
I assume whoever wrote that Wikipedia article just copied it wrong, because he does appear to actually have a Bachelor of Science degree in physics. Britannica says he then attended graduate school for physics for several days before leaving.
A lot of public figures and politicians from the West use Twitter as regulars. If the EU wants to walk the walk and set the tone, just build up a Twitter-lite alternative platform in 3-6 months and let Musk’s Pandora open box rot?
If anything the Kanye comparison is harsh on Kanye, who at least has/had actual talent as a virtue.
Wrong. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics.

Post some content on your multi billion dollar companies that I can listen to and I'll give you some feedback.
Richard Branson has no qualifications and has had the smarts to make a very good living for himself.
Not sure why there's a need to insult others intellect just because you don't agree with some of the things they say. Simply responding OP who stated he wasn't smart and anyone who thought that was beyond their comprehension. I disagree.
Simping for billionaires is bottom of the barrel stuff.
Perhaps if more people called Hitler a cnut, we might not have had mass extermination of the Jewish population…
Yes, though, probably business, political and power are intertwined while ego is a toxic byproduct of the others that can ruin any of the 3 (Ye for recent references). Either way, all 4 are good reasons for him, if he is smart, not to feck up. If twitter goes down the drain shortly after because of him, he will lose money, way to influence politics, power and his ego will be so bruised that could go as sad as Trump rants
