Billionaires tweet, wannabe billionaire bootlickers retweet. It's a pretty straightforward concept.



That's not at all the way the product is used.

There's a reason people talk about "Black Twitter" and "Gay Twitter" and "Poll Twitter", etc.

There are massive ad hoc communities with the product.


Do you really think that is what Elon sees in Twitter? The diversity of opinion?

I hate to break this to you, but Twitter is Elon's soapbox for raging against the SEC and swinging markets his way. You're basically telling me McDonalds has the best ice cream around meanwhile McDonalds couldn't care less about the quality of their ice cream. That is a loss leader for them. They don't even consider it a product. It literally just keeps the place stocked with followers for the influencers.


In this chain of replies you talked about how the product was used by broad sets of people.

Not Musk specifically.
