I'm still kind of processing.


It's kind of hard for me to articulate.

Twitter was this perfect public face for commercial advertising, engagement for consumers.

I mean I hate it but I can see it's value for commercial interests. We had people just having conversations with brands like a Philip k Dick short story.

Twitter was huge, I know TikTok is big but Twitter was like the base interface between like everything.

Like the president of the United States uses it. The loving UN uses it.

And it just got destroyed (and was ALLOWED to be destroyed) by some pissbaby meatface because he didn't like mean tweets

I mean my uneducated mush brain can't think of something like this happening before but maybe like the Hearst era this kinda poo poo was going on.

But all I can think is like the president is about to get on air force one and I'm 9 years old and my older brother stole my fries so I go throw a tantrum in the cockpit fly the plane into the empire state building and nowhere along the way am I stopped

I thought all his "free speech" complaining was him wanting to use slurs and not get banned on twitter, and it wasn't about being upset that people were mean to him?

He doesn't care about anything he just wants love and attention and he thought that was an avenue

The Twitter board would not let him on the board without a background check which musk refused to do. There was probably a drug test too

So to spite the board he agreed to buy Twitter and destroy it . That’s what he’s doing

And honestly it's not surprising that he's doing that I'm just surprised he's being allowed to. Also this is amazing content

What's left? It's done. Put a fork in it
