Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Genghis Khan]

This really does come down to Musk not being an out and out leftist. He's not stopping them from getting their message out, so why are they mad? Because he fired some programmers? Gimme a break.

Because he's stopping their propaganda and stopping their censoring opposing views, they just don't want to say that part out loud.

You think this meltdown was funny, wait until they reinstate Trump. Good lawd, the walls will melt.

Trump said he's staying on his own platform, but I don't believe him. The temptation to reach way more people would be too much.

There is no damn way he completely stays away. His ego won't allow it.

And Twitter is better entertainment now than it has ever been... It's almost like all of this is driving more traffic to Twitter...

Craigslist is run by like 50 people. It can be done.

I thought that died off when they cracked down on the sex ads?

No, it's still a thing.

It seems like 90% of Twitter employees weren't doing anything anyway.

And they will have zero problems finding more coders regardless.

10% of most those employees days were spent in meetings. The other 90% was spent doing absolutely nothing. Hanging out in the stylish twitter Cafe and such. I also think they were allowed to just work from home if they wanted.

So yeah, probably best to trim the fat.

It's so beyond hilarious reading leftists comment that Twitter is going to die, as if the richest man in the world would spend 44 billion or whatever it was and just let it fail. These people have no concept of reality.

I'm a leftist and even I said they're being overly dramatic. I said the same thing you said. It makes no sense for someone to spend billions on a company only to purposely tank said company.

I think a lot more people on the left look at it from that level-headed perspective, but just like with anything else, the loud minority gets all the attention. So people assume all Dems act like that.

When you say Leftist, you mean a Dem voter, right? Or are you a true hardcore leftist.

But anyway, I don't think all Dems are like this. These are spoiled, entitled children with little grasp of reality. That's not the vast majority of people.

Problem is, these young people who are true Leftists -- authoritarian types, some many outright Marxists -- are increasingly in positions of power and influence.

I'm fuzzy on all the political labels but when I use leftist I mean anyone who leans left in general.

The Leftists that you're describing are who I would call far-left. And to me those people are just as irritating as the Marjorie Taylor Greens of the world.

You are not a leftist by today's standards. Not even close.
