LOL... is he hiding cause of an exodus, or because of the bot farm he ran for the elections?

    Nazi, who inherited his generational fortune through slave labor, makes people uncomfortable. They leave. Nazi lies about being weird and/or a Nazi.

    Insists being a Nazi should not influence anything and demands people and ad money returns.

    Yep. Fortunately for Elon (and, you know, fascism) he doesn't need it any more. For Elon, it is already 'Mission Accomplished'. The richest, most thin-skinned losers on Earth already control the biggest economy and the biggest military. What more could that shitstain hope to get out of Twitter?

    Well now he's calling for a new election in the UK (presumably to put the right wing bac in) so looks like he's not happy with just proxy ruling America.

    Haha right you are. It is in his nature, I suppose, to grasp and grasp after already being the richest person in history. In a better world, we would put people like Musk in a nice, humane institution.

    He’s not the richest in history. Modern history, sure if you count excluding inflation. But when people like Mansa Musa existed Musk has quite a ways to go. Hell even Carnegie’s wealth eclipsed Musk if you’re talking purchasing power.

    Musk has now surpassed Carnegie. You are right about Mansa Musa (for now), but the gap is closing. According to google today, Musk is at $334B, Carnegie peaked at a modest $309B, and Mansa Musa had about $400B, though there are quibbles about personal wealth vs. kingdom's treasury. If you want to compare Musk and Musa, I think you could reasonably add the GDP of the US to Musk's fortune, since he is one of the puppeteers behind Trump. All figures adjusted for inflation, by the way.

    Well, you have to remember, he's an entitled NepoBaby manchild who grew up rich off an emerald mine in Apartheid South Africa, failed upwards into every position he's ever held after blowing shit tons of money into failing companies, claims he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else despite his products getting recalled almost weekly and openly flaunting safety standards over the color of safety gear, and just overall is a massive dweeb who shills failed crypto scams and political grifts over on the Social Media platform he spent Too Much Money™️ on.

    So yeah, of COURSE he thinks he can shadow-run 2 governments at once by funding Fascist takeovers. He's just that stupid and entitled. And when it all blows up in his face one day, all I will do is laugh.

    In the future I hope they do studies on what percentage of nazi content is necessary to destabilize a platform and get an established base of regular people and companies to flee.

    To hear it told on Bluesky, it's the better blocking tools and the culture of "we don't have to put up with these assholes."

    shrug

    I've been off Twitter for years and even before that I probably posted less than a half-dozen times per year. I mostly prefer subject-based social media (here) over identity-based, but I'm looking to surround myself with people who talk about something other than politics because the last Trump presidency I just couldn't handle the constant tide of horrors.

    I just need somewhere to escape all that and if not, I'm going to be in a really mentally unhealthy place for the next four years.

    I never really understood twitter. Feels to me like it's all about following personalities in a poor format that doesn't cater to discussion. I've had an account since early, mostly for testing twitter integrations for work. I haven't even bothered to log in for a couple of years.

    I logged in yesterday just to deactivate my account.

    Elon Musk before: "Oh, these old Twitter executives were so dumb. When number go up, you've gotta show it everywhere!"

    Elon Musk now: "Number not go up? For cripes sake, don't show it!"

    Over a million people joined Bluesky after the election and seem to be using it. Also a lot of news & media companies have moved over too. So I would assume that at least that many users have disappeared from X or their activity has diminished. On top of that all the bots have gone home now the election is over so the amount of activity must have suffered. And Bluesky is basically old Twitter so people are settling into it and liking it.

    I would advise anyone who still using X to give it a try. And if they want to use X for whatever reason - uninstall the app, install Control Panel for Twitter into their mobile browser and browse that for a relatively bullshit free experience - no ads, no algorithmic lists, just what you subscribe to.
