Typical movielover. BearHunter makes a statement about a group of people and movielover makes a vague statement about some individual that cannot be identified from what he said. Not that I care to understand what he's going on about.

I see butthurt over Elon Musk is still strong which is funny since Musk isn't a conservative Republican. Meanwhile, the libs also think Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos are slimy but they prefer to keep quiet about them.

If you think the Left keeps quiet about these guys then you haven't been paying attention.

You think Musk having $88 billion instead of $90 billion has any impact on job creation? You're just a toady for the billionaire class.

I don't want to do them multi-billion dollar favors by importing cheaper (average) programmers from abroad to undercut Americans jobs and preventing underrepresented groups (women, African Americans, Latinos) from joining hi tech.

Twitter spooked by Threads, threatens to sue Meta for hiring employees after Musk fired everyone.

Musk didn't fire everyone. Many left on their own due to butthurt.
And those he did fire didn't want to come back to the office after he changed company policy.

I see a number of friends have 2 or 3 accounts on FakeBook... typically 1 or 2 are old. Is this how FB artificially boosts its user count?

Left wing Twitter is so weak. Does left wing Twitter offer anything other than an acknowledgement of the mainstream media narrative and just hatred for the other side?

Twitter seems to be working ok to me. All kinds of ideas and viewpoints seem available. Only gripe I got is over the Ukraine War coverage; maybe I search wrong but not a whole lot of up to date analysis etc.... YouTube seems to have a little more. They are all biased though..... what ever happened to plain old "news" without the political bias?

I think Twitter as a way of known people sharing information in bite-sized form that can readily be embedded is still mostly functional.

As a platform for organic discussion, it's become more of a hot mess far more overrun by trolls/bots than when Musk pretended to be buying it to rid of bots.

As a business, it's become an even worse disaster and is likely to end up in the hands of creditors in the next year or two, at which point the creditors will try to undo all of the damage that Musk did to it in order to make it capable of being an attractive proposition for advertisers. Recognizing that Twitter wasn't really a growth business and should have been managed accordingly was the only thing Musk got right.

It's PE 101 but he ran the playbook in the worst way possible which cratered their revenue. If a PE shop had bought Twitter it probably could have cut ~1/2 of the costs without any meaningful degradation in service and while continuing to slowly grow revenue. It still wouldn't have been worth $44B which is why no PE firm came in to buy it.

Another Yogi Sock Puppet account on its knees for Elon. Nothing to see here.

Yours is the mind that went there. Perhaps you should ask yourself why?

Prior to Elon, Twitter had hundreds, maybe thousands left wing extremist employees who did nothing but work with the FBI to interfere with the 2020 election and ban free speech.

I'm just thrilled how low Biden polled compared to Hitler.

BTW, Media Matters is a Clinton censorship front in case you mistakenly thought this was an organization with any level of integrity.
I'll mark you down as pro-New American Union and pro-Hitler.

Every time the right wing turns on other Republicans, I smile. Keep whittling your party down to the 30-35% of the voting public that are TRUE REPUBLICANS. I'm sure that will work out for you in future elections.
