Musk has explicitly said he supports Republicans now because apparently Democrats are nasty compared to GOP. Pretty much all of his friends are explicit supporters of the Republicans. Look, he even brought that idiot Dave Rubin round the Twitter offices to interrogate his own engineers about why cattiurd’s account wasn’t more popular and after finding no evidence it was throttled tried to boost the profile. Rubin is a self-hating gay who performatively moved to Florida to support DeSantis.

That is a fine post.
Remember the song Melting Pot.
That was just about race and coffee colored people by the score. (Latte I think).
Now we have the everything melt, politics, ethics, philosophy. Let us rejoice the big stirring.

A billionaire arch-capitalist from a wealthy family from one of the most racially divisive countries in the world gravitates to the Republican party.... why that doesn't make any sense at all....

looks to me like elon wants to turn twitter into a right wing news platform, it's why he's pushing the video stuff so hard, and picked up tucker carlson and the daily wire. but, he botched this debut about as hard as possible.

I'm sure he could prove you wrong in the near future.

Elon has a lot of ambitions that don't seem to mesh well with the incredibly diminished technical capacity of Twitter. He's announced many ambitions to massively expand what the website does while simultaneously running the existing service into the ground.

People like Tucker or DeSantis should be wondering it Twitter is even going to be capable of hosting video for the many thousands of viewers that they anticipate (or at least hope for).
 
And you know the lawyers for the movie studios are only waiting for the right moment to hit Musk with law suits over the film piracy going on at Twitter.
I think they are waiting for it to happen enough..which it will given the sloppy security at Twitter...to establish a pattern of negligance rather then just isolated incidents.

Musk says "All Presidential candidates are welcome on this platform."

Ignoring the Spaces DeSaster, Musk is trying to attract customers (because that's what you are on Twitter) and of course, Trump.

Well, the buggy disaster yesterday is not going to encourage other candidates to make Tiwtter a center piece of their campaign.
And, yes, I think Trump has decided Twitter not worth while anymore.

Those Commie libtards at the Grainiad are covering it with their usual Marxist sneering….



See! They broke the internet. The whole internet - created by the government so no wonder it it breaking. Not Twitter! Twitter is definitely not now understaffed and/or badly run.

This is so winning that the internet itself is sick of the winning.

MSNBC put up a chart with other internet events that did not "break the internet" despite higher numbers. They include:

April the Giraffe giving birth: 1.2 million viewers
Buzzfeed making a watermelon explode: 800K viewers
AOC Playing a video game on Twitch: 430K Viewers
Christiano Ronaldo in the Sauna: 700K Viewers
 
By not putting up the resources to host the political event, Musk clearly assumed that no one would give a hoot about DeSantis.
 
Twitter is now worth just one-third of what Elon Musk paid for the social-media platform, according to Fidelity, which recently marked down the value of its stake in the company.

...


Twitter has struggled financially since Musk took over. After saddling the company with $13 billion of debt, Musk’s erratic decision making and challenges with content moderation led advertising revenue to decline by 50%, Musk said in March. An attempt to recoup that revenue by selling Twitter Blue subscriptions has so far failed to take off. At the end of March, less than 1% of Twitter’s monthly users had signed up.

Musk both overpaid for the company and managed to sabotage its profitability. Impressive work.
