The NYT and WAPO and BBC and are notoriously dysfunctional also, but many people base many life decisions on what they read.

So in your own words Twitter is dieing on the vine and has not changed since 2006. So anything would be better wouldn't you agree

Musk is at best very naïve about Twitter’s management. Other platforms have been created with the free speech ideal. People realise quite quickly that they either become a cesspool nobody wants to be in or they understand pretty quickly the need for good moderation.

Attention seeking to the extreme

Fairness

With age, for some, comes scatter-brained thinking, and often times, replete with studly, egomaniacal self-aggrandizement.

Because he can....and he can blow it up to no end. And that's about it. Or so we hope.

He wants to silence the kids who is tracking his jet. Better question is why do your writers want to gut 1A (the thing that lets them do their jobs)?

Freedom of speech, for starters! Remember Trump?

The swiftness with which the Twitter board snapped up the buyout should speak volumes.

My Question Too

Elon Musk wants to control who the next US President will be.

Citizen Musk

To fix it

Não seria isso?

The Mind is a force field that surrounds our soul. It can be as dark as a haunted dungeon or as bright as our morning St☆r. ✌

There is no way I will participate in anything associated with Elon Musk. Buying Twitter means it will belong to the bullies, the misogynists, the pathological liars, the psychotic, and the cruel.

Anyone who thinks public discourse can be accomplished with space limitations that Twitter has must be ignorant of history and politics.

Will he come back to splatter Twitter all over us? R.

To make it better…

So you could do this torn image art, most-likely.

What does the business do about the notoriously dysfunction new owner?

In a world full of truly insane and dumb 'influencers' out there, let's be real and say we're ok with this.

Your article doesn't even attempt to answer the question raised in the headline. Click bait !

Lengthen tweet maximums; allow for conspiracy and lie 'theories' as a means of building audiences based on algorithms for these; and, begin to create a fee-based model, one character at a time--free, let's say up to 280, $10 per character after...

I think you answered your own question.

To demonstrate to the world that some animals are not better than others.

Funny thing. Tesla is a notoriously dysfunctional business too.

For me, an ephemeral ideological issue the size of his pocket.

The focus on ideas will increase while the branding aspects of Twitter will be carefully discerned by the team Elon Musk places in charge. In any event, it will be a better alternative than Facebook for many global concerns in government, academia, and stakeholder/shareholders.

Musk wants future bailouts for his businesses and Twitter is an good way to influence politicians to grant them.

Oh FFS

I was so happy for it being dysfunctional.

Give Trump a platform; claim credit for Trump success in 2024; get rewarded.

Data control. Lots of power given who is on Twitter. The oddity though the talk of taking it private, he got in trouble before with SEC over those talks regarding Tesla. Couple the fact he's a cryptoho, the dude would love to be untouchable by the Government.

He is buying it because he can.

Musk tweeted, “A social media platform’s policies are good if most extreme 10% on left & right are equally unhappy.” Rather than general well-being, that’s equation for radicalization & outrage, w/those of us in middle 80% stuck trying to go about our online lives as best we can.
