RIP Twitter

I have an honest question . What is the benefit of adding yourself to Threads or just visiting if it’s very close to twitter? Is it functionality, accessibility (or potentially lack there of), or is it just the flavor of the week?

IDK what it is yet, but yeah it's pretty similar to twitter. It's definitely easier to find your real world friends there.

Fun? You looney leftists seem miserable now that Twitter isn’t a liberal echo chamber anymore.

I'm happy. I'm not left. I don't even use Twitter for politics. I don't like echo chambers (which ironically VN is for people like you on the right, but not for libertarians like me). 0 for 4 in humiliating fashion, bro.

You have a lack of self awareness.

If poor Elon hadn't bought twitter he would be the richest person in the World. Instead he'll have to settle for being the richest person in the World.

Not counting Musk out, but the Twitter transaction could cost him billions more in the future. There are people, hedge funds and financial institutions that are looking at significant losses, the kind that get you cut off from access to those sources of cash in the future. There are some mezzanine lenders that are going to get skinned in this with their only option being to convert their debt into stock. Not much of an improvement but it does allow a bank to turn non-performing loans into assets on their books. (I think they even get to carry them at basis, but not sure about that.)

Future lenders will attach a risk premium because let's face it, he's done some pretty stupid stuff here. Didn't he have to sell some of his Tesla stock on the front end? He basically exchanges his good performing Tesla stock into dumpster fire Twitter stock. Plus he's now angered a lot of his Tesla people for his lack of attention on them the last few years.

Will be interesting to watch this play out.

Twitter was gonna be fine until Musk gave pristine double fingers to everybody he disagrees with, chasing off advertisers and users, while somehow making the product worse. Quite the accomplishment.

I believe Tesla was already overvalued and I'm not sure where it goes from here. He lost the left who are the biggest consumers of EV but maybe he gained enough on the right to offset?

I think StarLink is awesome, but I have no idea what the value actually is. He's got big government contracts for that, but with his propensity for pissing people off and not GAF, I wonder how well those relationships last.

None of this was necessary. He could've bought and improved Twitter with no problems but he was led around by his ego and his weird need for attention.

I have one but only use it to laugh at folks like you having meltdowns.

So we still have a 100% hit rate on the “no Twitter is better now and you’re just complaining!!” crowd being people who don’t actually use Twitter.

Makes sense that people who use the site and see it randomly stop working are less likely to say that malfunction is a “lefty” issue (lol), but doesn’t make sense why people who DON’T use the site are here defending it

Of course it’s better. You guys are crying daily and censorship is down.
