I'll do it for $5.5M/year Seriously, Elon should put the position up for auction and see how low he can drive the price. Would be hilarious PR
You'd probably find people willing to PAY to be the CEO of Twitter just because it'd look really good on a resume.

Unfortunately, Bluesky has not taken off. The network effects of Twitter are too great to lose its journalists & public figures. What has happened instead is that we're back on Facebook. Errm... Threads by Instagram by Meta née Facebook. And it's reached a stage where public figure migration is actually becoming feasible. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/07/threads-is-nearing-xs-dail...

Bluesky seems to be doing reasonably well all things considered. It’s active and relevant. They also seem to have a pulse and ship new features. Not saying it will emerge from being a niche thing and take over but it’s a pretty big niche. And Twitter is about half an inch from a platform ending meltdown at any time so it seems like the future isn’t yet set.
Take a look at the graph I linked. Threads drank Bluesky's milkshake.

> it's worth less than half of what he paid for it But it was always worth less that half of the purchase price. The Twitter board completely ripped of Musk. Remember that he tried to back out of the deal, arguing that he had been lied to in regards to the number of bots and actual users.
They ripped him off? He made an unsolicited offer, signed, sealed and delivered.

Tbf, it must be difficult for LLMs to align all the WWII propaganda that's still floating around.
Given the source of training data is primarily the internet, and not say scanned propaganda posters in museums, I'd have to imagine all the analyses or things attributed to the impact of world war 2 significantly outnumber uncritical publications of ww2 propaganda in the training sets.

Why does Hunter Biden matter at all in anything?
Because the laptop includes a lot a emails. A lot of those emails include Hunter selling access to his father and suggesting that his father was in the the scheme with him. Whether or not Joe was actually involved vs. Hunter making it up to get these people to give him what he wanted is an open question, but this isn't something that should have been actively suppressed by the media just a few weeks before the electi…
We literally have multiple Trump children openly bragging in public about how paying them gives one access to their father.
Nobody cares. Nobody would have cared about Hunter either.

When I finally left Twitter most of the engagement was obviously bots either repeating other tweets or spamming unrelated dross on high activity threads for engagement farming. The number is high, but the quality is negligible.
That was my experience as well. But then people came back. The "For you" tab has been much more interesting for me than previously and in my industry I see tons of interesting content. Again, I hate what EM did to Twitter but there's that.

Its not going to Mars that makes money, its the technology required to get there. That same tech can be used to setup asteroid mining facilities. Imagine life is found on one of the moons of Jupiter, the biological gold rush would be like nothing seen before. In addition there will be well funded people willing to travel to other worlds and moons to start new frontiers. It may take centuries but these outposts may ev…
Wow, so all he has to do is find life on another planet and he’s quids in? Why has nobody else thought of this.

who said anything about offensive? Edglord just means he thinks hes posting hot takes.

Bluesky only has a future as a Twitter replacement. There are strong network effects favoring high utility of the dominant platform. Take a look at the graph I linked. Threads drank Bluesky's milkshake.
Maybe that’s just anecdotal but given how frequently meta tries to trick me into clicking on a Threads link I have my suspicions about all that traffic.
