      Yeah, I am not going to bother learning its new name. I’m not calling it x to anyone. If anyone calls it x to me in real life I’m going to pretend I don’t know what they are talking about.

    No explanation required. The plan was always to obscure, censor, and otherwise dismantle Twitter. Musk has a team of professional money making C level executives that flank him constantly no matter where he goes and he’s not the sole vote on any of the Boards that he sits on, yet he’s still allowed to be the CEO of a bunch of companies, only one of which is being blatantly mismanaged into the ground. Saudi gave him $22B to buy Twitter. Twitter is tanking and hemorraging money. You’d think the Saudis would have done more due diligence and/or be livid and demanding their money back from the guy that can absolutely pay them back out of his own wealth. Truth is, they’re not doing that because what’s happening at Twitter is exactly what they wanted (Arab Spring was largely coordinated via twitter).

    Maybe Elon did it during a drug binge and just forgot about who he banned the next day.

    It will always be Twitter, and most of the accounts affected have been reinstated

      Totally based. Instead of eviscerating his “enemies” in front of millions of his adoring followers, he quietly dismissed them from his bot-filled cesspool. Based af
