RIP Twitter

[n_huffhines]

This should be interesting.

By "Rest In Peace", I assumed that he meant Twitter was about to lose an overwhelming majority of its members ... then become obsolete, and go the way of MySpace. It obviously didn't play out that way.

What did "RIP" mean to you?

OP intimated that their valuation was inflated and because people were upset about Twitter's policies, the house of cards would fall. I think he was right that it was inflated. I think he was right that people were upset about their policies. So if they were inflated at $52B I believe it was to start the narrative here, and then sell for $45b...I can't tell at all that the conservative outrage actually hurt the bottom line in any significant way. And didn't kill it in any way, shape, or form.

Is it dead? What is 40% dead? I know it's damn sure not $45b sale price

I agree with you both after reading the first post instead of just the title “RIP Twitter”.

I've been saying all along that the left's attempts to control social media conversations backfire on them and might be doing more harm than good for their causes. Well, in the case of Twitter I can 100% say that is true. They went so far that they inspired Musk to buy it and attempt to fix the problem.

I saw the article that said Trump caused Elon to buy Twitter .. that’s not completely wrong

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

It’s absolute blind stupidity.
Biden is everything they claim trump was.

It's a perfect and sad example of someone believing what their preferred party tells them to believe.

 

[Devo182]

Looking at TWTR from a valuation oerspective is probably the wrong one. Elon has already said financials are not his purpose.

He's an old school internet free speech absolutist (far further than most regular folks are)...we're talking 4chan, TOTSE, 8chan, etc.

He has said he didn't buy it for the returns, but rather the idealism behind it.

So he's a fascist wanna-be authoritarian that praises actual authoritarians? He has fomented a domestic insurrection? Tricked tens of millions into the "big lie"?

Lol oof.

Though it is entertaining some have finally realized just how absurd and bad Trump, the Qanon, and other extremists were. There's still time after all. That is good. Better some are coming back to reality than not.

He is definitely anti-Trumpet.

The guy is pretty liberal/progressive. He definitely dislikes "truth social" from his own tweet. What a name too...very rich from that guy

Wow. Can't even respond.

An easy Dub.

G'day sir I'll be back to the PF in another week or month or year.

Gbo!

Oh I know he is , the article was just connecting dots from basically a loud speaker ( Trump ) and his Twitter wars to Elon , and the irony of it all .

I'm sure it's been mentioned before this post, but it is comical that the OP (@VolnJC ) entitled this thread "RIP Twitter", and then it sold 15 months later for $43 billion.

We should all be so fortunate, as to die, such a humane death.

What would I do with 43 Billion dollars?..it boggles my mind.

Why Bezos is worried that a Musk-owned Twitter will cave to China

Wait up..Bezos? You are one hypocritical POS

There is an insurmountable red wave coming due to completely insane folks espousing the same nonsense above while they still drive around wearing masks, all alone, in their cars blaming $5 gas and the humiliating azz whipping in Afghanistan on Trump.....

We get it. The mean man hurt yalls delicate feelings by....speaking words...and 2 years later he still lives completely rent-free in your heads. Skewing your judgment, squandering your logic or adherence to actual reality...He just absolutely steals your lunch money and gives you folks mental wedgies pulled up so high around your ears that the elastic waistbands in your fruitylooms suddenly gives up the ghost with an audible "SNAP!!!".

Loother...LG...apparently you...and the rest of yall Looney Tunes are going to be completely gobsmacked by reality in November when those evil conservatives ...who refuse to pretend along with ya that there are or ever have been more than 2 human sexes...seize back control of both chambers then unceremoniously get rid of the unicorns and pixie sticks bills, the boondoggle green new Earth Day warming/cooling/freezing/flooding/oh my God we are all gonna die plans with their multi trillion $ price tags and no means planned whatsoever to actually PAY for these terrible ideas.

Oh...then the "adults in control" will elect a republican president and sadly Nikki Haley as vice. Sad because she will be on the bottom of the ticket most likely rather than up on top where she could actually get much done. I love exchanging run on sentences, emotional outpours, walls of text and a general lack of punctuation with others. Was glad to see your post bud. Crazy knows crazy best. Try to get that carnival barker whose been out of office for 2 years out of your head. The other voices will have more room, and you will likely be able to evaluate the underclass (politicians) based on their actual record and platform rather than extremely slanted media and sound bytes. GO VOLS

“Totally understand that this is entertainment for some,” one employee tweeted. “But please understand that this is certainly not entertainment for me.”

So Twit was just entertainment after all. I swear we have a pussysnow avalanche

I liked my answer to the stupidity better

 

[OrangeTsar]

Nope. I'm saying knowingly proving false information is ban worthy. And inciting a riot.

Including the Michael Brown „hands up, don’t shoot „ false information that incited the Ferguson riots? How many Libs got banned for that on Twitter again? Or how about the people claiming Kyle Rittenhouse crossed State lines with an automatic weapon?

Do you know where that graphical interface was used first? Xerox. Developed by them, Apple licensed it to use in the Lisa I believe then the Mac. Apple did not create that interface or the use of the mouse.

Ding ding ding! And in another stroke of genius they closed their architecture unlike IBM and the ISA bus which allowed third parties to readily design value added peripherals and made their PC architecture more widely accepted.

As an admitted liberal (most of the time) count me amongst those who couldn’t care less about Elon Musk buying Twitter. I’m in favor of giving every person a platform to show everyone exactly how dumb they are.

How did Trump foment an insurrection? Yes Biden is authoritarian. Yes he tricked “81 million” into many lies. That we need to build back better. That black people cant get an ID or have difficulty using the internet. Or that if you didn’t vote for him you weren’t black. Or that EVERYTHING bad that has happened on his watch is due to COVID and Putin. Biden is 1000x worse than Trump could ever hope to be.
