The end of twitter.

MerylStreep

Will anyone miss twitter when Elon Musk achieves his objective to destroy it?

Probably not me. I was an early adopter of Twitter but it's gone right sown the pan since the early days.

I've just signed up for Mastodon as an alternative.

Mastodon is the software which a number of individual groups use. Each group can have its own rules and can be more or less strictly moderated. Trump's social network site used (and maybe still does use) Mastodon software.

I joined it years ago but was immediately contacted by ...er..... undesirable people.
So I've never used it since.

Not remotely.

I am not sure his intention is to destroy it. He may do that accidentally but am not sure that's his aim?

I use Twitter a lot more than other sm platforms. Primarily for GC issues, but also for news - local, national and international. I also follow pages about wildlife, astronomy, history, architecture, art, books and writers.
As others have said, it’s easy to control what you see (thankfully). EM has already sacked several executive post holders and says he wants to slim down the overall numbers employed. He wants to either/both get rid of a lot of the blue tick holders and/or start charging them to have an account. Blue tick holders are accounts with huge followings, so obviously bring a lot of traffic to Twitter.
I don’t think EM is set to destroy Twitter as such, he has said in interviews he has Asperger’s, and this is why he is often perceived as being “different” (other words may be substituted). I think it’s too soon to say if things will “improve”.
What I do think is obscene is that one man can spend $44 billion (and still have goodness knows how much left). I feel like weeping when I think what this money could have been spent on.

I miss Great Britain before Murdoch destroyed it

maybe he just wanted to send it into space?

No I won’t miss it, I’ve never used it.

Elon Musk didn’t put up all the money. The next largest share holder is Saudi Arabia, although some say they are the largest share holder.

MerylStreep I’ve read differing accounts of where the $44 billion came from. What is agreed in most of the articles is that EM could have bought Twitter with only his own money, still has x amount of money left. Different articles claim different sources for some of the $44 billion.
Bottom line for me as I said, much though I enjoy using Twitter, I think about what else this money could have been spent on and despair.
