Elon fired most of the twitter staff, and let the service be overrun by bots. You don't need any political motivation to think twitter sucks.

It was a lesser product for sure the minute he started messing with the blue check marks.

If your legitimacy is dependent upon whether you pay him or not, your legitimacy is in question.

He’s always been a bit of a controversial, borderline fringe type of character or public personality even when he just owned Tesla, so this isn’t anything new he’s just turned up the volume quite a bit. Still, there are those who have had no problem finding political motivations to dislike him or Twitter.



Still, I’m not a huge fan of social media and don’t have an X or META (formerly Facebook) accounts. My reasons are both practical and personal as I hold my privacy in high regard and don’t prefer sharing or disclosing my hobbies/interests with potentially _______ amount of users worldwide.

Not to sound too contrarian, but basic/complex business ethics aside, most corporations legitimacy or continued existence relies on mass consumers purchasing their products and making hundreds of millions or billions in revenue yearly. I could devise and work extremely hard on what I believe will be a highly valued commodity like let’s say an early version of HD Dolby Surround 5.1 sound 35 years ago but someone else completes a better, more marketable version, my legitimacy as a successful businessman in that context isn’t great.

That is absolutely not what is going on with the blue check. The blue check was a verification that you were a legitimate person and not a bot or just some random troll with 5 different accounts used to stir up sheet. If he was planning on making the bulk of his revenue on income from blue checks, he gambled wrong.

I gave up on Twitter a bit over a year ago. I’ve been on Bluesky for about 6 months but I wasn’t doing much on it until after this election when many of my former Twitter buddies jumped in. I even grabbed my companies name when I noticed it hadn’t been taken. I’m in the process of handing it over to them.

I'm a fan. I just need to break the habit of going to Twitter first. When I get to that point, I'll gladly deactivate my Twitter because it's very hellscape-ish these days.
