Elon Musk admits X 'may fail, as so many have predicted'
(www.businessinsider.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I have a feeling that that was the plan from the beginning.
The elite don't like seeing common people have an open forum where they can all talk about how terrible their lives are, that their terrible lives are caused by the elite and that the common people should figure out what to do about it all.
It's perhaps stupider than that. The guy couldn't take getting made fun of on Twitter, so he bought and killed it.
Rich people don't like being made fun of ... but you know what upsets them even more? Poor people realizing that they can make fun of them long enough and often enough to realize that the world should get rid of obscenely rich people.
This is a really lazy take. The elite have forever wanted to control the common people through the manipulation of laws, economy, news,etc. That's why the Saudis put up the majority of the loan to enable Elon to buy it...so they could gain control over public dissent and white wash their abhorrent public image.
Meanwhile, Elon's a glorified troll with a god complex, who wants to build his own clubhouse for more extreme right wing content.
Which makes me think it did both things ...
That would imply him possessing ability to think that far ahead.
I don't get this take - because if this was the plan, why not just shut Twitter down straight away instead of whatever is going on right now?
The actions of the platform don't indicate they're trying to kill it, just that they have really bad ideas trying to make money off it.
