Well, it’s nice to be spending more time here in the good place. We are rebuilding our pro democracy community bigger and better than ever so we can leave the app that shall not be named in the past. Consider giving us a follow and spreading the word!
I’ve been watching you guys on YouTube for years! 💙 I truly wish that the election went the way we all thought it would and what was being shown on your channel had truly caused a big blue wave. I still feel like something smells in the way the outcome of the election was.
Question: is it really possible to "redirect" the distribution of power between the branches of the government and rig the whole system to the point, that when the elections come, the process itself won't matter and the results be known from the start? Could they antagonize their own voters enough?
It's unreal how smoothly everything works. It's snappy to the point it makes me wonder what took us so long.
I was so used to disappointment I never once considered it could be better!
Right?? I was sleeping on this app for too long. But. We are here now. Let's go!! I too thought trump and peon musk would ruin all social media. But...I also know our party never quits fighting for a better America for all. 💙💙🇺🇸
Yes this app is far better. When I first went on Twitter it was a pleasure to use but now it's horrible. I'm still there for a few more days because I want to let my friends know where I am. I'm so glad that you will now be posting here. Followed you
I've never followed this account. And I doubt I ever will. I'm a stickler for how a media company should deliver information. This account is not the great media hope they seem to believe it is.
You can leave it now. You can’t in good faith call it “the app that shall not be named” to this audience, all the while supporting it with continued use.
There are still some kinks that need to be ironed up but it’s pretty fantastic.
I hope they end up using advertisers instead of users buying privileges to pay the bills. Having paid voices amplified is a major reason the other place went to hell so quickly.
Already followed. This community is a factor of 1000 times better than the other place. Looking forward to concrete things we can do to ensure the continuation of democracy.
I'm the same way. I don't watch any news i.e CBS NBC ABC. I don't trust them to post what people need to know on what the convict is doing to our government .
Your channel is the only place I trust to get up to date reports on the him and his cronies.
Hmmmm. When he said he was going to "eliminate" trillions of dollars in the US budget, did he mean he would put the US into trillions of dollars in debt?
I see he's not facing an ethics investigation anymore...... 🙄
A liar's toy used as a fake news and MAGA propaganda system is only valuable for MAGA's
Being on X today is "agreeing to Trump and Musk" values.
NO WAY!
Imo the goal was never to increase the value. Maybe make a little money along the way. Eroding trust in a global community that can organize is the target.
He used Twitter as a means to an end; to deregulate his other companies by ingratiating himself into a Trump administration, which the son of a bitch helped to make happen with illegal bribes and deliberate disinformation. Once it's dead, he'll sell it or dump it.
Are we sure this "estimate" includes the $12B of acquisition debt Elmo piled onto Twitter's books? I think it's doubtful that Twitter is solvent, dude promised Twitter would have a payment system long ago - where is it? A possible answer is that insolvent entities can't own banks.
But isn't his ego one of the things he cares most about and therefore has the highest value?😏
By the way he profiles himself, I really think that can be true.
Only with Twitter. He's definitely a driver for Tesla and SpaceX, but Twitter seems to be where he's really gone off the rails, using it as a platform for his personal views. When he's detached and focused, shit gets done.
Firing millions of government workers, what could possibly go wrong? The trouble, Elon, is that money is not the only meaningful parameter. Human needs count. Like all humans, not just you.
You are looking at it wrong, It was likely bought to be sacrificed. Trump owns most of DTJ stock, who owns most the rest? It has almost doubled the past week. If X shuts down where do all the Trumputians go? Truth Social of course. In the past week Musk has made $70 billion, he's won, we all lost.
Musk doesn't care. First, he bought Twitter with other investors. His primary objective was probably not to make money with Twitter, but to use it as a propaganda tool. Secondly, once he's infiltrated the government apparatus, he'll make billions of dollars. Think Russian oligarchs. Same.
All they needed Twitter for was as a popular vehicle in which to legitimate far right-wing extremism. And in that regard, they've already gotten their money's worth.
It would be very satisfying to break, I mean ostracize, this man in the social media world...financially he's got too much..those government contracts would have to dissolve.
But when 88m or whatever he overpaid for it is just chump change for this guy, it was worth the loss because he got what he wanted. Control of our government. Twitter was just a means to this end. Valuation isn’t just money.
He bought it to buy an election. It was an investment. He mad billions on this he is now worth 300 billion. He is a shadow president. He owns starlink we will fall if the senate doesn’t stand against this take over!
He doesnt care or need the revenue. It served his purpose. Its now another Truth Social whos sole purpose it drag his followers deeper into the new Dark Ages.
The attacks on education and against facts is now mainstream.
I urge everyone to read "Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter." It's a great read and it shows you what a narcissistic, incompetent, clueless man-baby Elon is, a tech bro version of Donald Trump. The chaos and sheer stupidity he brought to the company is astonishing.
He could / can afford it especially with his oligarch buddies pitching in so in the long run, I hate to say it but it looks like it paid off for them. Anyone staying but DOJ or CIA……0h we’re screwed.
I think The Orange One will get tired of Elon getting attention. Narcissists don’t share well. I expect it will be like Highlander with much less appeal. There can be only one. Let’s help them irritate each other.
That’s the billion dollar question…how will the maga cult handle their leader being tossed aside? They didn’t sign up for Vance, most didn’t even like him.
They either kill him and say he died from old age or whatever, or they keep him around to show his face once in a while. I can’t imagine anyone expecting him to actually do anything besides playing golf
I figured six months. Elon got Trump elected, but Elon has no further use to Trump. Narcissists don't share and their egos are fragile. Trump will lash out and swear his brilliance won the day.
elon bought Twitter to RUIN it, not as a business investment. It had been a great place to organize, to quickly find news - now it's a hell hole and he gets to mess with people -
"priceless"
🤬🤮🤬
and he's no poorer for having done that. billionaires will kill us all.
It gave him exactly what he wanted. He doesn't need it to hold value. He just needs it to promote propaganda. Which is why Bluesky MUST SUCCEED. This is the #resistance
Doesn’t it require assent from Congress for Trump to form a new department? Since Congress wields most of its power by granting or denying funding, they are unlikely to want to hand the purse strings to musk. If they do, they become irrelevant
He obviously does not care about the $$. He turned that platform into a snake pit, a den of thieves and disinformation, which seems to have been the goal all along.
The "value" of the platform is far greater than the stock market. He used it as one of the largest platforms in the world for disinformation/public manipulation while suppressing voices on the Left.
"Mission accomplished" now that the oligarchy has essentially full control or our government
A couple of big government contracts suddenly fall into his lap and he can make that up and then some. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this isn't part of some long-term plan where he has a $44 billion loss leader.
Well, what Fidelity doesn't understand is that Musk purchased Twitter for one reason and one reason only, to help get Trump elected and to help get himself access to the federal coffers. Prepare to be looted.
Everyone needs to leave X! He doesn’t care, it’s just $44 Billion, which he’ll write off! Let’s remember; he’s worth over $260 Billion! He doesn’t care about you, like his president, he helped that monster win the election! If you’re still on there, knowing the facts, God help you! ♥️🤍💙🕊️
Good Morning ☀️ Pam! Hope you’re doing well! My brother and I decided on 11/11 to shut it down! I can only describe what I felt about logging into what was my account as walking into a funeral home, pure dread! That is not good for us as humans, X is sinister, I’m happy to hear you’re leaving!💖💙🕊️
It's heartbreaking to have an account for many years & walk away. But every time I go back to check for friends I may have missed I feel like I need a shower. It's so gross there now. Have a wonderful day! 💖
Exactly. And that’s why he brought in the kitchen sink, he knew then he was throwing $44B at the election- with the help of russian money of course. Now what price will they pay in return for that financial assistance?
Not looking forward to that. But about Twitter’s value. I think Elon never cared about Twitter or making money with it. It was just a tool to help steal the election for Trump. We were way too naive about all that.

bye bye X...
Worth : ZERO.
The Trump'n'Dump continues.
When Trump kills the government sponsored
$7500 EV tax breaks
As he says he will
Elon doesn't need a car on MARS. :)
He does know how to win. His failure with Twitter is pure ego.
By the way he profiles himself, I really think that can be true.
He should stick to doing what he does fantastic - anything else than owning a social platform and expressing himself on it.
And that doesn't slightly contradict my hopes that IFT 6 goes off without a hitch next Monday.
😁
Amazing that such a thing like that exists.
It was all about controlling the narrative & taking control of the gov.
Equals to other autocratic countries
Elon is and always has been compromised
Bluesky seems to have hit critical mass

We are going backwards somehow...
he's not going to like that.
they like their money these oligarchs
He drove the narrative there to get the worst person in American history elected.
His personal wealth increased $60B since.
See how that works?
"priceless"
🤬🤮🤬

It’s succeeded in what its funders wanted.
Cheap at 44bn to basically take over the US.
You’d be in a better place too.
