Not sure about that, think Musk would be quite happy to see twitter reduced to a town square of hate. He wants "citizen journalists" only because he doesn't believe facts and truth are worth anything.

reply

mrkeithtaylor.bsky.social•114 days ago

He may be happy with that, but it's not worth nearly as much (in either economic or political terms) if the only people there to see the hate are already on board. It'll remain useful to rally the troops, but absolute pants for recruitment.

reply

naterufc09.bsky.social•114 days ago

He might be but it will kill the site. I'm hoping it goes full 4chan/Gab. It's getting there. The more normal people that leave the worse it gets, the end result is most people know to ignore it like Gab and 4chan.

reply

geordiekakamora.bsky.social•114 days ago

I'm with you. Musk already thinks that the amplifying of right wing voices his own site does is evidence of his own opinion being correct.

A narrowing pool of right wingers will probably only reinforce that opinion.

reply

michaelhudson76.bsky.social•114 days ago

He’ll always think he’s right, but how often do you see Twitter in the wider news agenda vs Truth Social (Trump’s posts excepted)? If this place really takes off, Twitter will shrivel in significance. Maybe he’s already got what he paid for. If not, his X-universe needs more than that narrow pool.

reply

textilita.bsky.social•113 days ago

he’s spent 2 million and got back a few billions already

reply

michaelhudson76.bsky.social•113 days ago

If he only bought it to help Trump, he’s spent more than 2 million but will think he’s quids in. If he bought it because he’s still obsessing about his X the everything app and showing people how very clever he is, he’s 30+ billion down for now.

reply

geordiekakamora.bsky.social•114 days ago

Hopefully you're right.

reply

michelle333.bsky.social•114 days ago

I don't see it like that at all. It's all about numbers, and if there are millions leaving, that is a weakness

No, i disagree. X is a symbol of his strength, millions leaving shows a weakness.

I did repost this but with reservations. There's talk of Twitter merging with Truth Social. Even if that doesn't happen and the only ones left on Elon Musk's site are Trump troll and BlueSky because what Twitter used to be, he's got what he wanted. Much more rich, and the USA led by fascists scum.
