The Unofficial "Elon Musk trying to "Save Everyone" from Themselves (except his Step-Sister)" Thread...

Everyone keeps trashing X and Musk, yet everyone keeps using it and sharing it. I share stuff too still but I have deleted my account. I just don’t know if the platform will actually die and go the path of MySpace. I hope it does and I hope he loses all of his investment, I just don’t see it happening right now. It seems as if everyone is outraged by it, but not enough to quit using it, therefore allowing it to remain and possibly become a larger platform in the future. 
 

Everyone is outraged in the moment, but give it time and people will move on and forget about their initial emotions towards something like this.

In the same boat.  Deleted my account when he banned all those journalists and I was hoping to see less links to xitter over time.  They're still all over the place.

I havent' fully quit "X" but I've used it much less since the rate limiting crushed my ability to get news.

 

I used to sit in front of my computer for hours. A twitter feed would scroll by on the right side of my monitor, or the 2nd monitor. I've posted pictures of this repeatedly.

 

Once Elon's dumb rules limited this I found it a LOT harder to get information. Yes I still surf these websites, and multiple forums (this one, hockey board, reddit) for information, but I won't get it in real time anymore because apparently leaving my app open to read tweets in real time as they're posted is no longer allowed, and "makes me a bot" or "freeloader".

 

I signed up for BlueSky and have Threads on my phone, but I've noticed Threads is acting quirky on the app. I'm surprised more people haven't given up on Twitter. The majority of people I know who also post stories and tweets most of the time (not this board only, but other forums too) continue to just paste twitter links like nothing is going on. Fine by me, but as someone who used to sit by their computer for hours at a time poring over social media, that's just not the case anymore since elon cracked down on apps

 

Hey, I guess it means more time for work right?

Elon Musk blames elite LA school for brainwashing ‘communist’ trans daughter into hating him for being rich

 

Elon Musk believes his “communist” transgender daughter severed ties with her billionaire father because she was brainwashed into “thinking that anyone rich is evil” at the ritzy California school he sent her to.

 

The CEO of X, formerly known as Twitter, washed his hands of any responsibility for the recent rift between himself and 19-year-old Vivian Jenna Wilson — instead blaming the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica for infecting her with the “woke mind virus.”

 

Wilson’s transition was part of a domino effect that led to Musk buying the social media app as part of his mission to stomp out wokeness, according to an excerpt of the upcoming biography “Elon Musk” that was published in the Wall Street Journal Thursday.

 

The SpaceX founder told author Walter Isaacson that he was initially “generally sanguine” with his child’s decision until in April 2022 when Wilson “became a fervent Marxist and broke off all relations with him,” the excerpt reveals.

 

That year, Wilson was granted a petition to change her gender, as well as her name, which she hoped would demolish any connection between herself and her biological father.

 

“She went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil,” said Musk, whose net worth is estimated at $257.5 billion.

I'm sure his own parenting, or lack thereof, had nothing to do with her hating him.

I don't get it either. The amount of people tweeting about how bad twitter is, baffles me. It's not heroin, you can leave whenever you want. I left that hell hole over a decade ago.

I don't visit Twitter technically. I use https://nitter.net/ which apparently uses some unofficial Twitter API. I wish the other platforms had the users and embedded properly. I don't want to have to screenshot a "skeet" just to post it here everytime. Twitter still has the juice right now when it comes to information. I will say there are some people on bluesky not on Twitter anymore so I hope that trend continues.
