    Thing is, this is exactly what Elon wants. He hates the press and doesn’t want them on his platform.

      Twitler is trash anyway. Reputable folks/outlets shouldn’t want to be associated with it.

      Is this even a problem? Elon can keep his fringe groups and trollbots, I don’t mind.

        It’s a problem because a lot of people are still on Twitter/X and get information from there. Only now they’re getting more misinformation and less news.

          The problem is EM owns the place now and can do what he wants.

          As much as we want people to leave Twitter, we can’t force people to leave. If they decide to stay, despite the misinformation, there is nothing we can do about it. Personally I have zero people in my life who use twitter and I have never used it either. So I cannot actually influence anyone to leave.

          In the end, you cannot save people form themselves.

          To me it would be better for all news outlets to leave than for them to stay.

      He just really needs a win right now, and this win is so pathetic. Just let him have his incredibly expensive truth social, because that’s what he’s trying to turn Twitter into.
