Okay. I mean Musk really needs the money now that he is once again the richest person on the planet.

Stiffing other people is...hurting other people, not yourself.

@staidwinnow @gern @Meyerweb he can keep the site running with his money, and I think he will until November 2024 (elections) at least. But it's clear to me Twitter will lose relevance as the time passes. The celebrities and journalists, the most loyal Twitter users until now, will try Meta's Threads since they already have millions of followers on Instagram.

It may lose relevance in the future, but it has not right now. The doomsayers who were predicting its immediate demise are wrong.

And too many are overlooking the fact that he bought a propaganda weapon that will bring him revenues.

Mody, Erdogan, and Xi demand their opposition be suppressed and he does it. Doesn't one know what they will do for him in return? Space X launch bases, cheap unregulated labor, lab humans for his experiments...

@staidwinnow @gern @Meyerweb I agree he will keep using Twitter for propaganda, this was goal when he bought it.

@serklarvel @gern @Meyerweb ...and he is backed by the Saudis, so he won't run out of operational cash.

They might rename it LIVtter soon.

There are bozos paying him $8 a month to troll on his behalf. That may not make much money, but I bet Musk considers that his biggest win so far.

First celebrity to have fans pay him for the privilege of trolling his critics.

@staidwinnow @serklarvel @gern @Meyerweb Spot on @staidwinnow . That’s all I’ve ever observed from his goings on. Destabilize, confuse but keep the propaganda machine rolling. Twitter was a great place for planning and creating dissidence against oppression. Now it’s a war propaganda machine for the far right.
