    Pretty cool how he took one of the most widespread platforms for distributing information yet built and completely trashed it in a few years of petty manchild tantrums.

    All he had to do was not change anything to keep twitter as a massively powerful tool, and yet.

      Getting people to realize that twitter is bad is possibly the only actual accomplishment that can be attributed to Musk himself

        There was an interview a few years ago where Julia Roberts was asked why she didn't have Twitter. She didn't know what it was and after it was explained to her, she said "Why would I want that? That's like...shouting into the wind."

        I wish everyone had Julia Roberts' attitude.

      Turns out Twitter itself couldn't withstand the meddling of a magically powerful tool my-hero

      The sadder part is that this completely trashed platform still hasn't really been replaced yet.

      9 times out of 10, whenever something's going on, the link will be to a Twitter post instead of Bluesky or whatever.

      completely trashed it in a few years

      I thought it had been months, but it's been very close to two years now. He took over Oct 27th, 2022.
