Best thing Musk did was bust open everyone's personal echo chambers by removing 2 way blocking on Twitter/ X. Public actually means public and users can no longer censor others arbitrarily. Besides all 2 way blocking does is frustrate the user experience since logged out users can still see all public content as guests are immune to the blocking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Funny now that the echo chamber enthusiasts decided to migrate to Bluesky so that they can circle jerk with like minded people.

When you've been over-privileged for so long- equality feels like oppression.
These poor moral censors were so used to always having their way that an actual free speech platform feels like fascism to them.

The only reason he removed blocking was because his ex-wife had blocked him lmao

Losers need to change the rules so people are forced to entertain them.

Either youre lying or google is lying. im more inclined to believe the worlds biggest search engine, sorry bub

Pretty sure Musk initially tried to get a better deal for Twitter after finding out it was 80% Bots.
But the courts forced him to go through with it.
Twitter was never actually worth 44bil.

Advertisers are still just mad because Musk exposed that they were paying money for bot views and that made them look incompetent and silly.

Unfortunately, I believe you would benefit from learning how to use search engines properly. Information on Google does not align with your claims.

nah im good. i searched "How much is twitter worth now" and received this from its ai overview
"After a period of decline following Elon Musk's acquisition, the company formerly known as Twitter, now called X, has reportedly regained its initial purchase price valuation of $44 billion. This rebound is attributed to a combination of factors, including a secondary financing round where investors exchanged existing shares at the $44 billion valuation, and the return of major advertisers."

Soooooo unless you wanna drop your sources im still more inclined to believe google

That's funny cause the AI overview I saw said the exact opposite.

Also, AI is not a source. I will take this win and move on.

On top of that a huge portion of people are paying for Sub fees now.

X is also the #1 news app in over 140 countries.

That's wishful thinking + disinformation. I'm always surprised by MAGA's alternative facts. Like they don't even live in the same reality anymore.
