The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

“The Bloomberg story pulled together a collection of incorrect, misleading, and outdated metrics, mostly from the period shortly after Twitter’s acquisition. It also lacks extremely important context not to mention critical updates on our progress and actions.“

So Bloomberg puts together a hit piece on a media competitor and people gullible enough like @Joes Place buy the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. 🤣🤣🤣

Ex Twitter folks claim that Twitter just changed their definitions.

And that several of the accounts would have "blown up" their alleged statistic if they'd actually included them.

Ergo: Twitter is FOS here. And you believe them (again)

I have had similar conversations with Phil Knight and his ridiculous name for a shoe company. A check mark for a logo? He could do so much better.

What, no one here is going to tell me how this is the greatest marketing move of the century? How this further benefits the platform? Part of a 12-D chess game being played by Elon?
 
Yeah this isn’t well thought out.
What is?


He's claiming he's going to "add all these new features" to a platform that was unique and provided plenty of features for what it did.

Now, he's going to make it do a dozen more things, with a fraction of the coders.

We've already seen privacy issues with things they changed - are people going to trust their finances on a platform that's already had major issues there?

Musk is going to set "x" up to "do everything", but do it far worse than platforms which already do those things. And people aren't going to trade "one stop shopping" on the internet for mediocrity. Twitter was valuable when it was a reliable source for information, because reporters and creators put their stuff on it. Now, it's mostly bigots and racists - which is why advertisers are taking the step back, waiting to see if Musk can reel that in.

But instead of reeling that in, he's making a sales pitch that 'x' will be the one-stop for everything internet, and advertisers aren't really going to bite on that.

Used to be that Community Notes were supposed to suppress misinformation...

Studies show that the risk of myocarditis is significantly higher after an actual Covid infection than with the vaccine. Among adolescent boys, the risk of myocarditis following a Covid infection was approximately twice that of the risk following the second vaccine dose.
