Wow, that was fast.
When Elon Musk bought Twitter and took it private in October, I figured we’d have some time earlier than issues took a flip. Then, after he laid off about half the corporate’s workers, that estimate shortened a bit.
Now, after final night time’s Areas brouhaha, throughout which Musk confronted journalists he banned for retweeting links about the ElonJet tracker after which abruptly killed the feature entirely, that timeline has moved up significantly.
To be clear: Twitter isn’t going to die tomorrow or subsequent week and even subsequent yr. However given how the previous few days have gone on the platform, I’m not fairly certain how lengthy Twitter will stay a viable platform. It’s turning into the China of social media, stuffed with censorship, arbitrary bans and teams of customers/accounts that leap to Musk’s protection every time they really feel his narrative is being undermined.
