Guess Twitter is just circling the drain now. I wish he'd just sell it and write off the losses. Focus on space and electric cars, where he can make a meaningful difference. This whole saga is a waste of time -- for him, for Twitter, for humanity.
- wombat-man 3y agoI think he bit off more than he can chew. We’ll see what happens but hard to imagine him exiting for more Than he paid. Now, maybe there’s a benefit to controlling twitter going into a major us election. Maybe him and his investors are just not too worried about taking the loss.
- solardev 3y agoDo the politicos still use Twitter? I thought they split off into their own echo chamber social networks. I'm prob just out of touch, tbh.
- wombat-man 3y agoThere’s a lot more on threads nowadays. I’d be real interested in seeing how the twitter user population has shifted since the acquisition but there’s no way we’re getting clear info about that. I just wonder how/if twitter will exit at this point.
- gettodachoppa 3y agoNo one I know IRL seemed to know what Threads is. Does anyone use it other than a few millenials?

- Levitz 3y agoAs long as nobody else can overtake it and fill the gap, it still has value. That's a very hard thing to do given that social media naturally evolve into monopolies. A whole lot of alternatives (Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon) but none as good, since they simply don't have the userbase. Chances are they will keep not having it.
