    It already was prior to Musk’s takeover.

    It’s just always been a cesspool. A complete waste of human energy and time. And it never once turned a profit. An abject failure by every metric.

      It’s crazy how media pretends Twitter wasn’t the biggest contributor to Trump’s MAGA movement, being the most followed user on the site up until his fanatic followers stormed the US capitol. I mean did people already forget these dreadful years of “Trump tweeted” headlines every single day??? Twitter has been an enemy to democracy for many years.

        I don’t know how you can say that was anti-democratic, though.
        That level of open and direct communication from the sitting president is very democratic. Say what you will about the content of that communication, but Twitter did not act undemocratically by allowing the president to speak freely…

      Not true.

      Twitter was profitable at the time when that Elon guy bought it (and before, and some time after).
