I hope he buys reddit next

So I mean, if this was in lieu of data collection and tracking, this is what more of the software world should actually do. Running platforms isn’t free, and making the user the product is a malicious and unsustainable solution.

That said, I certainly wouldn’t pay Twitter - I think I’d rather donate to a Mastodon instance, or pay for some other private alternative. Musk is awful for so many reasons, holds way too much power, and deserves no money of mine.

I fucking dare him to follow through. Please do it. Don't wuss out Elon!

Anyone who hasn't abandoned the platform by now deserves whatever they get.

Sounds like a great idea!

I mean, not for Xitter, but for the internet as a whole it would be amazing!

So, I am starting to really believe his goal is to just drive a stake into the heart of twitter.

Either that, or he is trying to prove a point regarding something.

I don't think there is any possible way, he is so dumb as to make all of these horrible decisions regarding twitter.... This has got to be destroying twitter by design, on purpose.

I mean, seriously.... he has done literally everything that you SHOULDN'T do. Fire the majority of the company. Destroy over a decade worth of very good branding. Alienate all investors. Alienate the user base. Piss off the remaining users more. Drive away advertisers....

FFS, the dude has a company that sends rockets into space, and previously, the world's premier electric car company... What in the hell is his odd obsession with choking the life out of twitter, that has been costing him money left and right due to absolutely horrible publicity.

I know it is a popular sentiment that people should migrate to Mastodon, but I personally think people will migrate wherever the people they follow migrate to.

With this in mind, I suspect Bluesky will be the platform to usurp Twitter; but with Twitter chasing off all their users in the near future, it may go to whichever platform is readily open at the time.

I'm very curious to see if Bluesky or Spill open up when Twitter closes the door on its users. If not, Mastodon may have a shot at being the next large platform...

Do it! Do it!

Spock: Twitter is dying.

Kirk: Let it die.

That would finish off Twitter instantly.

He's not THAT dumb. Right guys?

....right??

What about a fee for every X install like Unity?

Please do it fast.

Musk is an absolute idiot. But I'd rather pay for a system than have it mine me for data. I'm guessing he wants to do both though. Because that's what he does with Tesla cars.

Xitter, pronounced shitter

He should totally do it and charge per post as well.

why does he look like that

I really hope this happens. It already was dying, but this would be the final nail in the coffin for the stubborn users who are still on there for some reason. Clearly Twitter Blue has been failing.

Gotta hand it to Musk, he's mastodon's greatest promoter.

He's too much of a pussy to actually do it, we all know this.

Imagine thousands of people not succeeding in crashing a megacorp on purpose, and then one rich guy crashing it just by being stupid

I want to charge Musk every time he makes another asshole announcement about running one of his companies into the ground. Just fuck off, dude.
