      Yep. Fortunately for Elon (and, you know, fascism) he doesn’t need it any more. For Elon, it is already ‘Mission Accomplished’. The richest, most thin-skinned losers on Earth already control the biggest economy and the biggest military. What more could that shitstain hope to get out of Twitter?

        Well now he’s calling for a new election in the UK (presumably to put the right wing bac in) so looks like he’s not happy with just proxy ruling America.

          Haha right you are. It is in his nature, I suppose, to grasp and grasp after already being the richest person in history. In a better world, we would put people like Musk in a nice, humane institution.

            He’s not the richest in history. Modern history, sure if you count excluding inflation. But when people like Mansa Musa existed Musk has quite a ways to go. Hell even Carnegie’s wealth eclipsed Musk if you’re talking purchasing power.

        In the future I hope they do studies on what percentage of nazi content is necessary to destabilize a platform and get an established base of regular people and companies to flee.

          To hear it told on Bluesky, it’s the better blocking tools and the culture of “we don’t have to put up with these assholes.”

          shrug

          I’ve been off Twitter for years and even before that I probably posted less than a half-dozen times per year. I mostly prefer subject-based social media (here) over identity-based, but I’m looking to surround myself with people who talk about something other than politics because the last Trump presidency I just couldn’t handle the constant tide of horrors.

          I just need somewhere to escape all that and if not, I’m going to be in a really mentally unhealthy place for the next four years.

      I hope so, although it might serve as an easy way for companies to bribe the first lady Musk for favours with Trump
