            The politics of social media is already so dogshit that I can't imagine it getting much worse. But the monetization angle on the platform is still wide open for degradation. We're still a few degrees of awful away from the early internet endless-ad-spam era.

            I fully endorse Musk turning Twitter into some shitty website from 1993 that opens twelve extra windows on your phone and beings auto-downloading 5 GB of ad videos as soon as you click the half-invisible (X) at the top of the pop-up ad that blocks your login screen.

    the best part of this is he might kill Twitter by fucking with it, and how great would that be

      Best possible outcome, although his subscription model will unfortunately mean that all the blue checkmark dweebs stay on there and become increasingly more divorced from reality as all the people bullying Matt Icy Glass rn leave the site.

        Most people will stop using it once he starts charging DOGE for every tweet

      Because if there is one thing Musk is known for it's always hitting deadlines.

    If it accelerates the creation of your amazing app why did you try to get out of it?

      This is also already literally Google's marketing language around Chromebooks. "The Everything Button".

    Wow you mean one app that has purchases, chat, profiles, and even VR?! If only some kind of social media company had thought of that!

    buying twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app

      This seems both believable and infuriates me because you managed to make dril seem less cool :downbear:

    So he's trying to make :reddit-logo: :the front page of the app store? Like does it mix my texting app with angry birds and my banking app with a splash of grinder?

    How is the separation supposed to work?

      my banking app with a splash of grinder

      Hooking a banking app up to a dating app just gets you a sugarbaby / fuckboy app.
