Maybe, Elon should of just paid the $1billion fine for opting out of buying twitter originally.

Of course, ego gets in the way, which can be expensive for a billionaire.

You just have to look at the way he manipulated Dogecoin to realise what he stands for.

And normal folk think he’s actually on their side when he was making millions/billions off its price movements :roll:

And it really would prove that Musk is under Saudi/Russian influence if he were to let it go under

seems to be the correct/relevant thread - twitter is not working for me i get "Something went wrong. Try reloading." and a largish reload button that does nothing.

is this a genuine fault on my machine or something to do with the latest shenanigans at twitter if anybody know?

Might be their version of maintenance service. Seems okay....for now.

Twitter have started to reinstate previously banned accounts…. Twatter about to Melt especially if Trump gets reinstated. User time will be through the roof though & if Twatter really is in decline then there is nothing like a little bit of controversy… it’s like that good old easy start spray.

Interesting post,

I wonder just how “real-time” the commentary will be.

I heard somebody say, views on Twitter have gone up for the same reason that viewings of a building go up when it's ablaze. :lol:

57% of Twitter users want Musk to step down. Musk has agreed to abide by the results of the survey/referendum!

If that 57% stopped using it then they wouldn't need his agreement. He'd be toast esp because the other 43% are fake accounts.

You would think that there were cheaper ways to humiliate yourself in front of the world than spending 44 billion on a social media platform

Down 60% in the last year, that's a big chunk of market cap, but then a lot of frothy market caps have retrenched lately.

I'm pretty sure he should just focus on core business. Seems sensible.
