Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.

Remember their "IT"S THE NEW TOWN SQUARE! IT NEEDS TO BE FREE OF CENSORSHIP!" rants. I do.
I've used Twitter, never will. Musk owns it, let him do what he likes.
Just funny watching all the Musk fanboys who said he'd "fix all the wrongs with twitter", do flips now that's he's turning it into his own personal PR platform and rightwing echo chamber.
The right wing isn't an echo chamber, it's the silent majority. The fact is most people lean right, and the left suppresses them to manufacture consent.

Twitter is now worth just one-third of what Elon Musk paid for the social-media platform, according to Fidelity, which recently marked down the value of its equity stake in the company.
Musk has acknowledged he overpaid for Twitter, which he bought for $44 billion, including $33.5 billion in equity. More recently, he said Twitter is worth less than half what he paid for it.
Fidelity first reduced the value of its Twitter stake in November, to 44% of the purchase price. That was followed by further markdowns in December and February.

A friend who uses Twitter told me it's now a pay-to-play platform, complete shit. So if you pay, your comments go to the front.
Didn't the Right whinge on and on how Twitter needed to be equally accessible to all (and it was before Musk) because something, something new public square?

Seems Musk took my advice from 2022 and has hired a CEO to lead Twitter. a Linda Yaccarino.
Best thing Musk can do is to have absolutely nothing to do with Twitter's operation, if he actually wants to make a profit off it some day in the far future.
Yaccarino was appointed to be pushed off the glass cliff.
Women and other underrepresented groups are often hired for leadership roles when a company is in crisis, so they can be blamed for their predecessors' failures.
She will not be able to right the ship, because Musk remains Executive Chairman and Chief Technology Officer, and has already refused to commit to any of her suggestions that would bring back advertisers.
Because Twitter lied about their activity, much of it are bots.
Elon never was in it for the profit, he was in it to support free speech. Unfortunately the EU has made unreasonable demands, as the authoritarian facist Europeans do.

Musk had all the data in front of him, surely the "smartest man in the room" (as the Musk fanboys say) would have seen through it, if that claim were true.
Musk supports free speech, if he can profit off it. Go BlueCheck go.
That's why the first thing he done was ban the account that tracks his private jet and the second thing he done was ban any accounts that parodied him.

Twitter Now Worth 1/3 What Musk Paid
