Deleted my twitter the other day. I can't support this disaster.

PS Elon, Instagram is way bigger, way more people have found twitter accounts through instagram links then vis versa.

Don’t a bunch of the social media engagement platforms do that kind of thing?

Maybe? I'm not one for having my own accounts. I do have an auto-tweet addon for Wordpress when I update our office site with news. Might be time to see what I can do about Mastadon.

Oh, nice, it exists:

This just means Sliver got elected. Good for him. Bad for dogs.

Interesting if true, though this whole "blame my actions on the results of a twitter poll so I don't feel any responsibility" thing is lame.

EDIT: Lol:

Elon knew he wouldn't win this poll and had probably picked out the next CEO days ago.

That’s if you assume the polls are actually legit and (a) aren’t overrun with bots voting, (b) aren’t skewed behind the scenes so that he gets the result he desires. It isn’t like these are voting machines

Well 2 and 2 together. He was attempting to secure major funding from the Saudis and they directly stated he needs to have a competent CEO. He will do this because he's attempting to stop the bleeding that is affecting his other companies. He also knows that he is becoming hated and seen as a joke as head of twitter.

He knows exactly how this poll will go and was already looking to install a puppy......new head of twitter.

I think you meant puppet but then again, who can be sure with Musk? I could legit see him appointing a puppy as successor.

Well, he did date Amber Heard so it wouldn’t entirely surprise me.
