    Go get 'em, tiger.

    Twitter has seriously underperformed, in part due to it banning or seriously curtailing some people who had millions of followers... Trump, Tucker, Bongino, etc.

    That's like saying a backup quarterback sucks ass. Compared to the most popular social media platforms on the planet, Twitter's still in the top 10, and 1 in 7 Americans use it regularly. That ain't nothin'.

    And banning Trump has nothing to do with its not being #1. Nothing at all. Scads of conservatives are on there and have no problem with the platform. It's simply not as entertaining to use as YouTube, not as personal as Facebook, and not as addictive as TikTok.

    Please love yourself.

      In just the three names I mentioned, you have millions of followers with tens of millions of hits on their tweets or the tweet thread...That ain't chicken feed.

          It's a common fallacy among people who don't use Twitter to believe the platform is exactly like it's portrayed in outrage porn articles. The vast majority of Twitter doesn't care about any of that. Individuals, influencers, small companies, non-profits, corporations... they use the platform and couldn't care less that Donald Drumpf was banned.

              That's all well and good.

              Now add in all the activity from reading and responding to Trump and those other people. For example, look at CNN's ratings after Trump left office. Twitter is leaving meat on the bone.

                  To Jolly's point, they literally have. Instagram, YouTube and Facebook have four to ten times the user base that Twitter has. But for example, Twitter has about 100 million more users than America has citizens, so the Donald Trump thing is just a drop in the bucket. It really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                              So the deal is closed? Not so clear. Stocks are still trading below $54.20, so I guess there's still risk.

                                  Elon Musk attempting to substantiate the “great men” theory of history.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                    @Jolly said in Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter:

                                    $64 question: In 12 months, how much effect will Musk have on the Twitter profit/loss line?

                                    Assuming the deal does through, this will not be your concern by then and you may never know because it Twitter would be a private company not obligated to publish its financial statements.

                                      "Elon Musk is buying Twitter and everyone freaking out drives a Tesla. There’s never been a dumber time to be alive."

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
