Who cares? Nobody outside of twitter needs to know if Twitter is growing or shrinking or rebranding or changing or turning into a subscription or anything else. Investor maybe but I hope they have a more reliable source than Elon...

Post screenshot of tweets with relevant content, that's okay but stop wasting our time with nonsense about Twitter itself.

Somehow we all figured out how to stop talking about Facebook... Let's just do the same with Twitter.

I never understood Twitter and I never want to. It’s like that tube machine at the bank. People bundle up a little sentence then shoot it out into the Twittashphere. Why? I’m with you, screenshot something interesting and leave the rest in the dumpster fire where it belongs

I sincerely hope so. Elon Musk is a fucking idiot, and deserves to lose all the money he's put into it.

The innocent people working there, however, don't deserve it. I hope they can all get out and find other work before this shitshow finally reaches the bottom of the abyss they're sliding into.

Why would anyone trust anything this guy says or claims?

Without the scale and the dates from last year... It can just be a small bump from rebranding after losing 50% of users maybe
