Quit Facebook in early 2017, quit Twitter a little over 2 years ago. Apparently I ain’t missing a thing.

[rodbelding]

I haven't been able to access twitter in way more than 24 hours now. He actually killed it lol.

[Just-a-bystander]

Elon musk.. Mr Freedom of Speech. Hollow arguments & actions from a hypocrite.

[fumblinFe]

delete twitter now, stop paying musk to troll you!

[lunarwuffy]

LOL Good job Elon. Make it so I have even less of a reason to use a platform I already don't use.

[feistybearproductions]

I literally just use Twitter to see cool fanart and funny tweets from fandoms I like. And this news personally annoys me, even if Elon says it's temporary

[arrows]

1000s of hours on Twitter. Don’t anyone work anymore? I know Jim Jordan AIN’T! Google how often that dude tweets a day!

[pcmlc]

It's a private business. He can do what he wants.

Sound familiar?

[Tayace]

Mark my words, it won't be temporary. He will use this to push for people to sub.

[brettfavrewelfarequeen]

Sounds like Elon is okay with censorship.

[mortsnerd]

Genius, pure genius right! He has money, so it must be genius. He's not screwing stuff up, he genius ing it.

If writing a BLOG makes you a BLOGGER than doesn’t using TWITTER make you a TWIT ?

[sinofinance]

He is really messing with my ability to receive crucial information and news.

Musk makes jokes about Karl Marx and less than a week later his subscription based free speech is forced into rationing because he can't pay his bills.
The shelves are empty and the Twitter bread lines are getting restless.

"Mr. Muskachev, tear down this paywall!"

[rboettger]

i have no social media accounts at all, for years now, and I am doing great!

[rodbelding]

Elon needs to just sell the site and cut his losses, he clearly has no effin idea what he's doing. A 44 billion dollar impulse buy lol.

[fu]

The limit stuff is bull by the way I hadn't been on it for a week and it wouldn't show me anything. Musk tried some crap again that didn't work then started making up excuses like he always does.

[ReD-xymr]

He is aiding the far right. I am hearing their limits isn't the same as left leaning accounts.

[David..]

Use one of many lefty platforms if you don't like it

[Arahknid]

King Twit doing what King Twit does. How's that stock price since he's taken over?
