Elon Musk purchases Twitter | Guess who's back? | Tactical Salt

Inbf he buys all of twitter just so he can delete grimes account.

I think we should approach this change with caution. Musk has his own history of censorship regarding his own affairs:

Twitter Was a Mistake, But Elon Musk Wants to Buy It.

In this video I talk about Elon Musk becoming the largest shareholder of Twitter, and what this will mean for the future of the platform. Check out AI Addict's YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/AIAddict ₿Help Support the Channel by Donating Crypto₿ Monero...

Well, the only reason the rich buy media outlets if they want to control what is said. Is Twitter even turning a profit at this point or is it being kept afloat with stock market money because it's an useful social engineering tool?

Gab.com’s Offer To Elon Musk

This morning Elon Musk sent Twitter's Board an offer to buy the entire company for $40B+. As I wrote last week, anything that explicitly has the aim of bringing more free speech to the internet for more people is a good thing. Twitter has legacy problems that Gab doesn't. They...

Inflammatory content gets most visibility. Engagement (comments/quotes) are more important than the actual quality. A well thought out post on both sites usually goes unnoticed but the most retarded takes and trolls get all the attention because people like being mad.

I think outrage is literally part of Twitter's algorithm.

Every tweet I click on has the most braindead, smug, retarded take as the very first reply. Sometimes it filters only the same braindead user replying to multiple tweets like I follow them or something. It is as if they programmed an AI to show the most contrarian retort no matter how illogical it is.

I remember hearing about twitter closing people into "rooms" in one of the Dead Internet videos, where you are in this hurt box, always arguing and being outraged so you spend more time on the platform. I don't have a first hand evidence, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. The quality of online interaction has gone down massively since Twitter has become big.

It's just elon doing another retarded publicity stunt. Hopefully he fucks up twitter and it self destructs, but realistically nothing will fundamentally change.

Elon Musk threatens to cut Twitter board members' salaries to $0 as his takeover bid morphs into a referendum on the company

Musk said that if he is able to acquire the company, he will cut board members' salaries to $0.

"Board salary will be $0 if my bid succeeds, so that's ~$3M/year saved right there," he wrote.

Musk's tweet about board members' salaries is yet another sign that his original bid to buy Twitter has transformed into a referendum on the company.

Jack Dorsey has also been venting his displeasure with the Twitter board lately, and even a few weeks ago he seemed to express his general dismay with his role in commercializing the internet in general.

Edit:
Florida Gov. DeSantis wants to hold Twitter's board and directors accountable for potentially injuring Florida's pension fund. Not sure if this can even amount to anything but I imagine this is to add pressure for the board to accept Elon's offer.

I can't tell if it's genius or retarded for the creditor that financed him 12.5b margin loan on TSLA to make this happen.

 

[Lord Adolf Kalki-Wotanson]

I think he should do it.
















Adolf Hitler should buy Twitter.

Some say none, some say little. I have my hopes however.

I don't think we will get major changes. Capitalism is really effective at keeping things shit.

Man, capitalism has nothing to do with people playing favorites and intervening in conversations and arguments. Fuck off.
