Because he's doing everything to make it fail and destroy the platform, isn't it obvious?

"Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by Dickless here." — Ray Stantz, Twitter engineer

For the record, It wasn't failing until Musk came in.

Once it fails then someone will buy it cheap and rename it twitter.

Took over Twitter. Ruined it. Then : "The sad truth is that there are no great 'social networks' right now,".

So with wildfires in Canada there's evacuation zones near me, but I can't click on some announcement links from the main site that shows the evacuation zones because they go to twitter and you need to log in now. I think they show some on other pages on the site but they do the quicklink to the twitter announcement in the sidebar so you have to click around a bit to get to it. Yes I know the name but whatever. My point being is when the social media site that was meant for short bits of info isn't good for emergency notifications where everyone can read, it's shitty and potentially harmful.

X may fail. Twitter didn't fail. Twitter was bought by a twat who decided to shut it down piece by piece.

Oopsie we repeatedly keep taking away you most valuable organizational tools

Can we start a gofundme to persuade him to take over Facebook?

Best part was he tried to chicken out of his own deal but the feds obv wouldn't allow him back off on his very own proposal to buy Twitter in the first place!

Good, shut it down. Time to end Twitter.

Now all he needs to do is to connect his own management of Twitter to its failure.

I have a feeling that that was the plan from the beginning.

The elite don't like seeing common people have an open forum where they can all talk about how terrible their lives are, that their terrible lives are caused by the elite and that the common people should figure out what to do about it all.

genuinely convinced he may have intentionally destroyed twitter to make the next presidential campaign operate on a different field.

sounds crazy but without twitter or reddit, how do "the youth" communicate? tiktok? insta?

thanks for nothing you clown

Nothing of value was lost.

And somehow it’ll be the “woke mind virus’s” fault. There will be no self reflection at all.

the guy didn't even want twitter. the whole thing is depressing.

I wouldn't be surprised this is him urging his cult to buy monthly subscriptions. If we see higher tier subscription be introduced one of these days, that would be the reason for this fear mongering. That said, it's awesome that he's getting a reality check. You can be surrounded by as many yes-men as you want but people en masse don't care and even if they do, they love seeing rich people humbled. No one misses a good shitstorm.

The time of the Mastadon is at hand.

Oh no! Anyway.

In May Fidelity wrote down the value of its stake in the company then still known as Twitter, giving it a value of about $15 billion – or just a third of what Musk paid, The Wall Street Journal Reported.

I think even that was not realistic, and back in May things were not as bad yet as they are now at "The thing formerly known as Twitter". I doubt anyone would buy it at even half that now. Musk added a debt of $20 billion, that's about what it was worth at the time Musk bought it.

With that debt, the company became basically worth Zero. Even at the estimate when Musk bought it.

If the $20 billion debt was somehow removed, it would still be worth less than $10 billion. Meaning that its current actual worth is probably below negative $10 billion! Meaning the only value is the tax value of the deficit. And no creditors get paid. It's basically already bankrupt, unless someone pumps in more money, and I'm not seeing that happening with a company as bad as "The thing formerly known as Twitter".

Seems like the only way forward now, is bankruptcy and maybe reconstruction after selling the company without the debt for peanuts.

He can still turn it into a porn app
