I think chaos was the point. Chaos under the guise of free speech.

[belindasanders]

I definitely saw this coming. Apartheid Musk isn't exactly the poster child for free speech.

[Ezekielzzz]

What you say about Twitter also applies to the Trump presidency. The result will be worse.

[navarrewolf]

The way I see it is if these billionaires really wanted to help our country they could give the government a couple billion to improve infrastructure, roads, schools, go back to teaching civics and democracy in schools again. That's how you make America great again.

[JacquiMartin]

The day Elon Musk took over Twitter I completely took my account down and did all the things to get rid of it properly I have not been back since 🔥

[violagreene]

For the right wing, "free speech" means "don't hold me accountable or expect me to stick to facts".

[holyearth]

I’ve switched to Bluesky. What Elon did to Twitter is what Trump will do to America.

[ObiohaAbaekwume]

Democrats should go to blue sky and leave Twitter for the right

[octaviaharrislive]

"A master class in BAD decisions"—that's why I tune in, David! It's the way you put your words together.

"Every where the forest was thinning. Yet the trees kept voting for the axe. For the axe was clever and had convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."

[MasterDebator-lu]

When your racist unemployed in law never knew about twitter but now is an active user, you know elon done fucked up

[SDChargersFreak]

On Bluesky, I can read the responses to JoJo from Jerz or Brooklyn Dad Defiant, and it's actually nice, intelligent feedback. Twitter/X has become nothing but a cesspool, with any popular, genuinely intelligent posters getting a bunch of advertisements, pornbots, and a lot of MAGA hatefulness in response to just about every post, to the point where it wasn't worth even looking at the replies. It was hard to shut down my Twitter account because I once loved Twitter, but it's been destroyed by Musk. Bluesky has saved the day (at least for me) in terms of useful, fun social media.

[tvwithtiffani]

He tried to back out of the purchase of Twitter. And was legally forced to buy it. This is him having a years long temper tantrum. 🍼

[Mokkareecee]

When he changed the name from Twitter, to X, I knew right then it was doomed

[Pucknuckle]

Every single time I've ever seen an american right winger talk about free speech, they make it blindingly obvious that what they mean is "I should be able to say anything I want without fear of repercussions, and I don't believe people with different opinions to myself deserve the same freedom."

[MrTonyBarrett]

Can we call the feud between Musk and MAGA "ElonGate"?
Because I want to enjoy it for a long time.
Keep up the fight, both sides!

[Billy_t__]

From the moment he announced he was buying Twitter, I assumed the goal would be to burn it to the ground

[Homecastlefoundation]

I just joined X tonight, to see Musk prancing around under his Adrian Dittmann alt account.

His voice changer thing broke when he was having an argument with Laura Loomer. Its all falling apart for him.

[theraven]

I bailed on it two years ago and have very recently joined Bluesky and Threads.

[DJF]

Left X behind? Now leave Tesla cars, stock, etc.
