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

Really sad to see how tribal he’s become. Fox News captures another ideological prisoner.
Yeah, but Carlson was never that great to begin with.

No shit! Look at his avatar!
That's not Tucker, it's his twin brother, Magnus. He's so amazing. And really, really smart. Like a stable genius. He cleans out the horses so well, like really really well.

What else is broken at Twitter?
https://www.propublica.org/article/politwoops-deleted-tweets-twitter-politicians-musk
Politicians haven’t stopped deleting some of their most cringeworthy tweets, but Politwoops, our project that has tracked and archived more than half a million deleted tweets from candidates and elected officials since 2012, is no longer able to track them.
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, the platform has disabled the function we used to track deletions — and the new method that Twitter says should identify them appears to be broken. We have been unable to find anyone who can help us, and with Twitter surprising developers by announcing a move to a paid model for gathering tweet data, it’s no longer clear that Twitter is a stable platform on which to maintain this work. ...

Elon Musk now values Twitter at $20 Billion.
(Any one willing to buy Twitter at $20 Billion?)
Musk also says he sees a path to $250 Billion valuation years from now. -

Presumably that path doesn't involve him selling it to somebody who knows what they're doing?

Twitter no long exists as a company. It has been absorbed by X Corp.

80% cut in staff headcount
Musk claims (what's formerly known as) Twitter is now "breaking even" and advertisers are coming back. -

Musk claims (what's formerly known as) Twitter is now "breaking even" and advertisers are coming back.One has to wonder...from and end-user standpoint Twitter is little-changed from what it was a year ago.
Yea, there have been changes as to policy, procedures, etc. Changes in "blue checks" and all that other crap have occurred. But, my experience is not very different from it was a year ago.
So, one has to wonder, what were those 80% doing? Were they doing computer preventive maintenance? Were they "innovating?" The platform seems to be just fine.

That was pretty embarrassing. Looking at Debra Faushay's Twitter, she actually wasn't being sarcastic
