To be fair, the schadenfreude of idiot blue checks losing their minds after getting a paltry $50 in ad sharing revenue today was pretty amazing.

Those are the moments that split my time between X.com (not a porn site) and BlueSky

And back to the removing the block feature talk from yesterday, I refuse to believe he actually thinks this is a good idea and it's just more trolling - either by removing it, or just threatening to remove it for the reaction but isn't actually intending to. This is #### You money in action IMO, like I've always felt since he took over.

I am in the same boat as your buddy. I never post but follow some people and read through a couple times a week. I can not login through the iOS app. Deleted it last week.

This is my second account. I signed up for Twitter in 2006 with the same name as here so it was one of the first Twitter accounts. About 5 years ago this dude kept messaging on all social media about buying my Twitter name. I ignored him for weeks and he finally just messaged me saying I’ll give you $5,000us for it.

I messaged him back saying sure but it’s against the TOS and if Twitter boots you, I am not giving the money back. He agreed and I made a good chunk of change.

Today I learned Stone Cold Steve Austin has some wild follows on Twitter. Yikes.

He's a good old boy from Texas, so I shouldn't be surprised, but it is disappointing.

Anyone else's twitter 'for you' page inundated with tesla spam? Even after I click 'not interested in tesla motors' it continues. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he's putting subliminal 'buy a model s' messages in the app.

It's like watching the annoying rich kid try to force everyone to play with the toys in his backyard. Sorry, Elon, no one wants to play with you. Still.

There is a sense of justice as the unwashed masses of humanity watch a Billionaire in his Kingdom run things into the ground.

Maybe not 'justice' but certainly 'enjoyment.'

I guess for me its more fun because I was never a Twitterer...Tweeter? Whatever. I never used the thing so I'm not watching something I enjoyed get destroyed.

Ronan Farrow is extremely good at this type of in depth investigation.

There is no justice to be found here.

Musk is still worth over $200 billion and the richest person in the world. Even if he manages to drive Twitter 100% into the ground, all that would do is drop him down the list of worlds richest people a few spots.

$200bil? I thought his networth dropped drastically in the past couple years?

edit: google search says he is worth $230bil as of July 2023 and the richest man in the world by $30bil.
