If We keep talking about it, then it won't die.
At least that guy has a limited lifespan.

Let us mark this thread as a testament of Elon's stupidity and move on.

Who honestly cares about twatter?  It exudes pure stupidity.  There is nothing good about it, and Elon Musk being an absolute moron more or less ensures its demise.
I dont  particularily like Elon Musk but people have been announcing Twitter's imminent demise for a year and its still here

I, for one, still think it's doomed. I stand by my extensive predictions about it on my Geocities page, or you can listen to my MyAudio2Go podcasts... Just search for them on HotBot.

Who can say with such huge companies? The only certainty in life is that everything must end one day. Whether it has a Skype collapse or a Yahoo collapse you just never know with this kinda stuff. Everything's too big to fail until it dies

It really depends on what is the purpose of twitter. For many it seem to be an idea shout out gladiator ring, which might make it even more popular. Especially if the claims about turning it into multipurpose app are true.

My favorite part of the new Twitter is losers who were confident that their accounts had nearly zero followers because of "woke Twitter algorithms" and not the fact that no one is interested in their stupid content.

I wonder how soon they will turn on Musk when they'll lose hope that $8 per month will make them popular.

These aren't the bread and butter of twitter, and I don't see brands and celebrities giving up on such huge platform. Otherwise there is no shortage of people who love to hate musk.

Also if musk manage to turn twitter into a super app, I suspect that many things will change. I wouldn't be surprised if musk blue tag(?) isn't motived purely by need to verify users (by which you provide financial info) but a stepping stone.

What, they don't have any non-for-profits out your way?
I pay like 70/year for a whole building of friends, and they mostly buy me drinks. But then again, I might have given up more of my life than I should have...

Musk confirms Twitter’s new CEO is ad guru Linda Yaccarino from NBCUniversal

god forbid women do anything
Only in the last few years hav women CEOs outnumbered CEOs named John. And when they are given the chance it's often only when some asshole has screwed every thing up so bad none the the Johns (or James, Roberts, Toms, Dicks, or Harrys) will take the job. Then when they fail to to save the unsavable fast enough it gets blamed on them not being a man.

Tucker Carlson will apparently be bringing his particular brand of lying free-speech to Twitter, as his show will now be relaunched on the platform.

This is a lot more reliable than trying for twitter, heh. We've seen what ol' muskrat will do to twitter blue holders (cf. twitter files asshole, far more literally with relevant tesla owners), and it's throw them under a bus and then drive it back and forth a few times :V

I'unno, from what I've seen their latest chops was some kind of streaming service they've managed to lead to what's approaching billion dollar losses. Investors have brains like goldfish with head injuries, though, so who knows.
