Billionaire cosplays as a knowledge leader.
Does things that hurts him self and new company.
People leave
Billionaire can't figure out why and tried to stop the bleed.
I can't wait for eu fines
Burn baby burn
This is beyond ridiculous. Twitter has given me so much over the years and it’s dismantled in days
This is capitalism. He'd be completely within his rights to buy Twitter for cash...then completely shut it down, pay off A/P & such, and liquidate all assets.
This post is both fresher and with more overall points, shouldn’t it outrank?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I had hopes. Twitter was terribly run and there was all sorts of examples of them being a typical social media platform trying to push various ideas using their control. Elon could have come in, aligned the website to be a lot more neutral, slimmed down the employee count and pushed for more features and more payments for features to get away from dependence on advertisers. I saw some headline a few weeks ago about J…
The one good thing that's come out of Musk's ownership of Twitter is that we now have extensive public evidence that Twitter staff bent over backwards to maintain objective moderation standards even in the face of unprecedented challenges. The "leftist cabal" theories are thoroughly disproven now. And we see now the kind of actions that an actual ideological cabal would take if they controlled Twitter.
Just the other day there was a post in here of the FBI getting actively involved in censoring Twitter content, if it had been only the "leftist cabal" involved (btw, there's nothing genuinely "leftist" about those people, but that's another story) things would have been way better.
Wow. PG did not even post any links, he pretty much just said "I have a Mastodon account." And just like that, banned. Looks like now you're not allowed to so much as mention that you use other websites on the internet besides Twitter.
I was a pretty big Elon fan a year ago. SpaceX is/was a monumental achievement. He's gone insane. Suggesting Taiwan and Ukraine surrender, all this Twitter nonsense... I'm shorting TSLA to $50 on Monday.
This is amazing. He basically said, he'd return if elon comes around, and wishes him the best. And just said "my mastodon is on my website". No violation of those new "TOS" of any kind. https://mas.to/@paulg seems to have been hugged to death already :)

You are wrong about what PG said. In fact, his Tweet included an explanation of where to find a link to his Mastodon account. Elon has made it clear that these blatant attempts at ban evasion are not allowed.
It’s getting really hard for Musk supporters to justify him.
You'd be surprised how resilient these people are
I’m in agreement with all of you.
This is some BS that goes against all the ideals of an open internet. He’s not just being petty by banning competitors, he’s banning link aggregators. A lot of them are used for organizing political movements or needed for running a business.
This move means he doesn’t understand social media. Banning PG without even a link? That’s just icing on an authoritarian cake.
Apparently all Elon cares about is usage so hopefully this policy causes a huge drop. I have hope that he’ll quickly reverse course.
