He's either a moron or he's trying to destroy twitter. X.com was stupid idea 20 years ago and it's a stupid idea now. Apparently Facebook/Meta owns the trademark for "X" for use in social networking. So yeah, he's a moron.

Because he's a twat that got shit loads of money from daddy's emerald mine, where hundreds of people worked like sl@ves to get the emeralds out for daddy to sell. Rich boy has had stupid ideas all his life but enough money (money from people dying) to buy whatever the fuck he wants, and for people to lick his arse clean. He made a stupid boast about buying Twitter which unfortunately for him was actually a legally binding commitment. The existing owners laughed all the way to the bank after getting rid of the loss making white elephant. Since being forced to abide by his own big mouth, the company has swallowed 50% of musk's emerald money and is still losing big time. More money vanishing every day than any of us would ever see if we lived 50 lifetimes.
Stupid rich boy's latest idea is to totally change the entire identity of the company. Maybe at least that way no one will notice when it vanishes entirely. |

"I’m going to stop using Twitter, it genuinely has got worse since he took it over. "
I've curated some great information sources - it used to be an excellent place for academic and activist information. Now... it's a dumpster fire, with apologies to dumpsters and fires. |

And apparently the particular X that he's chosen to use as his logo is directly st0len from an existing character font. It'll be fun when the designer of the font sues him. His choices will be to stump up a few hundred million for the use of the font, or to argue that it's in public domain - in which case he can't trademark it's use and everyone in the world can freely use it for anything they like. Stupid boy loses again. |

He's still thr0ttling use because he doesn't like to pay his bills.
I can't imagine how he thinks he'll get away with taking other people's intellectual property. Other than "I'm rich, I can do whatever the fuck I want" |

Sadly, there seem to be ample precedents that the rich can do whatever they want. |

"It does feel like Musk has been basically burning twitter down since he bought it."
Pretty much. Complaints team was replaced with an automated poop emoji. He changed the algorithm to promote certain topics, unbanned the banned. |

He's a free speech absolutist meaning that people can say horrific things that were previously beyond the pale but because Erdogan wanted to censor stuff, he censored stuff in Turkey because it's the will of the people.
Yes. Being antisemitic is way more important than being a political counterpoint in a public square. Said no one ever. |

I had a follower base of around 35k I’m now down to 9.5k as I’ve stopped using it due to the ridiculous and rising amount of promoted posts (1:3 seriously) and don’t get me going on reporting various posts that are graphic, racist etc they always come back as ‘this time we feel it didn’t go against our standards’
One was a video of some one calling a black person a ‘f@@@ing N@@@@‘ and then going on to say that they wanted to kill them. That apparently is ok for Twitter that’s available for children aged 13 and over.
I regularly report pornographic posts, but again this doesn’t go against twitters standards. |

I hope he sells it soon or a viable alternative comes up. I mean, eventually it will, but it'll have costs for some communities who assumed... that a business would run itself relatively sanely? |

Seems unlikely he'll sell it soon as he'd take a massive financial loss.
Musk seems more interested in turning twitter into some sort of superapp, I gather. (He also seems to be doing shit.) |

Yes, he's talking about the superapp thing. I bet it'll go as well as the self driving cars.
He's already taken a spectacular financial loss. I'm starting to think it's like trying to predict the actions of Alex Jones: identify the thing that the rational person would do, and eliminate it from the list of possibilities. |

It always had problems. But it also seems to have become worse under Musk. |
