Elon Musk and Twitter

[Quijote]

Been following the latest shenanigans surrounding Twitter and Elon Musk's takeover of the platform. Have to say I don't use Twitter, never saw the point and always considered twitting on Twitter to be for bird brains. Still, a lot of people use it, so I must be missing something. Anyway, Musk is now trying to extract more money from the gulls via new Twitter ticks. Fools. Money. Soon. Parted.

Well, they certainly have to try something to change Twitter's business model into something workable and sustainable. I guess we will see a lot of experiments like this in the coming months. I don't care either way, as I have never used Twitter, and the whole thing could vanish tomorrow for all I care - it would probably be for the best.

Yeah, I agree. I still haven't worked out why so many people use Twitter, what am I missing? Maybe it's a bit like that vulgar expression about how millions of flies enjoying faeces can't be wrong.
