It’s going to be amazing watching this absolute helmet do a Kanye and flush 44 billion down the drain.
Elon’s going to soon discover the same thing the owners of Gab, Parler, Truth Social etc either knew from the start or soon found out, making any actual money from social media depends on having a huge user base with loads of ‘normies’ who actually buy stuff for your advertisers to market to.
Any corner of the internet that declares itself a ‘Free Speech Fundamentalist’ zone eventually ends up flooded with Nazis, Pedophiles and Scammers, basically the very worst people imaginable. As a result the ‘normies’ very sensibly decide they can’t be bothered with all this, leave and take their advertising dollars with them.
Then the trolls, with no ‘libs’ to ‘trigger’ eventually get bored and go elsewhere as for the average sadist it’s no fun when you have nobody to be horrible to.
It would all be very funny if the process wasn’t going to involve so many people from minority groups being subjected to a torrent of horrific abuse, intimidation and threats.
