    Not leaving Twitter until it actually turns to shit. Which shouldn't be long. Remember - he's paying 44B because he has to.
    It's always been shit.  Too many people have a say on there.  Wayyyyy too many.

    I use it for sneaker and poster drops.  Not much else.
    Not my fault you're doing it wrong.

    Also, if you think it's shit now wait till he takes it over. Better yet, the irony of thinking something's shit but worth 44B.
    Doing it wrong?  Yeah sure Hoss.  I use it for exactly what I need it for.  

    Kanye is worth billions and people think he's shit...

    People think Amazon is shit, Chevy is shit, Wal-mart is shit, oh the irony indeed.

    Yeah I have to agree with Cincy here.  Voicing ideas about diplomacy and ending the war on terms that are not 100% favorable to Ukraine and the west doesn't make someone a Russian asset, especially if they are worried about escalation to WW3 and the use of nukes.

    For the record, twitter was always shit.  I have been off for over a year, around the same time I ditched my smart phone.  Elon won't make it better or worse, it always has been and always will be crap.

    Ok I overstated on Musk! He could of just as well stated that Russia just needs to get out of Ukraine like that diplomat did I forget her name.

    I think everyone is in agreement that if Russia left Ukraine all the problems would solve themselves.  That is likely not something that will happen in this reality.  As far as the narrative that anyone that doesn't 100% support the current state of military support of Ukraine either being a Russian asset, or only thinking that they have independent ideas while actually echoing well placed Russian narratives from Vladimir Putin is what I am having a real problem with these days, especially when we have "intelligence agents" of all sizes and shapes showing up on all of the major networks (Brennan, Clapper, and too many others to count) helping to shape what our perspective should be.  It's like the US is ready to reopen the John Birch Society and start having McCarthy style hearings. 

    Not a  fan Musk or Tesla or any associated companies btw.

    Im an idiot to push my savings into the stock market last fall when it was on an Octopussy-esque All Time High. Should have kept being lazy and finally do it this fall instead. 

    But whatever. It will solve itself with time.

    Really?  Wow.  I missed that one, lol.

    So people are happy the decision makers are gone?  And I thought it was a cesspool before, just think of what it will turn into now, lol!

    We should all be happy. Musk revealed himself as q.


     Ironic he needs the govt and tree huggers to maintain his fortune (space x and Tesla). Once libs realize his EVs do almost nothing to save the planet, his worth will decline. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

    Haaaaa this is laughable. Again, if you think Twitter is a cesspool now wait till more uncertainty is thrown into the mix by taking verifiable, reliable sources and making them pay to use the platform....

    Ha, this is without me realizing that blue check were never about verifying that someone wasn't a bot. Now, if anything, anyone who wants to pay can get a blue check. And what the fuck is the point of that. 

    Like Dingus above said - apparently only those with money should be respected. So since Kanye has money, and pays to have a blue check mark, that: $ = verified, reliable source.

    It's a good way to make money.

    I'm sure this has something to do with the bots he was worried about?

    no, its a way to make up for lost ad revenue since the TWIT has already shown he will treat the platform like his personal page.

    lol "I'm sure"

    this will (should) make users trust it less. It is baffling how trusting some people are of someone trying to make a buck.

    Bots do not get verified lol.  Someone like Nate doesn't "need" a blue check. This just makes verifiable people that do not want to pay look less reliable in the long run - especially those who come onto the platform later, and are not "established". What the hell is wrong with peoples brains lol

    What's going to happen here: he's going to try his best to turn a large profit, his board and the public that own shares will realize he can't do so in the long run, and will then proceed to take Twitter private at which point it will be a Parler equivalent anyway.

    What is stopping someone from getting verified then running a bot through it?

    Do you know what a bot is?

    Of course people automate tweets emails, etc etc, but it's at the direction of someone/something that can be traced lol
