Honestly? If you’re still on Twitter at this point, that’s on you.

If you still have a Twitter account, you are a piece of shit. That goes for everyone of you
Most of the world doesn’t know or care about US politics. X is a hellish platform though that does crack on pro-Palestinian users.
If you don't care about US politics then don't use an American Nazi's website

I'm willing to bet that Elon donated the money to be kicked back to Twitter in order to fraudulently make it look like revenue was improving.
Damn that's so obvious too. Like their whole best seller book scam. You're probably right.
This is SOP in silicon valley so I'm sure you're correct.
Maybe it's time to stop drinking at the nazi bar.
Woah who woulda seen this coming? Free speech, politically centered Elon Musk of all people? Crazy!
I don't think anyone truly believes that anymore. He's been mask off dirtbag for awhile now.
for a bloke who likes to accuse people of being paedophiles, he sure is simping hard for an actual pedo
It's all about projection.

Lets all remember the following tweet by Elon
Guys you are all too left, calm down a bit please.
The USA doesn't even have a left in any meaningful way. There are two parties, one is right and the other is far right.
As someone from a not-US country, I'm always amazed at how right wing the US "liberal" policies are. If Biden was our PM he'd be more right wing than our most recent conservative PM.
My country 's right wing government, with actual full blown fascists in the parliament, is more leftist than Biden...

Mastodon/Bluesky > Birdsite. Always.
I'd say the / should be a > but agreed.
I have no idea why people just jumped to another billionaire owned walled garden when Mastodon is sitting right there.

So the whole Twitter acquisition hullabaloo was all about electing more tax breaks after all wasn't it. And here I was thinking it was perhaps about the ability to do some more sophisticated propaganda or just because of Elon's pure stupidity.
You're giving him too much credit. Influencing elections is an incidental benefit to the real purpose. Which is that now Elon gets to ban anyone who disagrees with him on Twitter.
Back when Musk was complaining about Twitter's perceived bias, it wasn't because he's against that sort of thing, it was because he wanted to be the one doing it.
How to get every business to leave your platform in one simple step.
Yea, right.
At this point he could push porn with himself as every second shiit you see and people would still mindlessly scroll
Idk I thought they would have already left a long time ago but they are still there
A Billionaire simping THIS HARD for a Politician who is a known Child Rapist who doesn't pay his workers or taxes is PROOF that Democrats are the Swamp and REPUBLICANS care about the Working Class!
I can hear the internal justifications of the “journalists” still using the platform.

Maybe this will make people finally stop using the site for good. But I doubt it.
Who wants to see a child rapist every time you go to their site?

I'd say this is a great time for even more advertisers to abandon that platform, but really anyone who would care about this should have left a long time ago.
So is Elon Musk paying himself for these ads? What are the implications around that ideology? If he’s donating 34 mill a month and that all is going to Twitter for this…

It's time to start putting everything Republicans love under the Trump tag. Come on Internet, you know the drill!
Lmao I don't use x ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
