Nah... as a Tesla shareholder I was pissed that he was taking on yet another CEO job. But I give credit when it's due.
Twitter has been working way better for me than it had ever been. I used to go there to catch up with a few content creators that I follow and that's about it. No more than 3min or however long I take to shit Now I actually spend some time reading on other stuffs since garbage posts are much less visible.
And I think I've said it before. If I was Elon Musk, I'd have done the same. Buying Twitter is like Bezos buying WaPo. It's to shape narrative as one sees fit. And to be perfectly honest, I never think myself as a right-leaning person.
In fact, just a few years earlier, I was a strong Obama supporter and I liked all social subsidy programs they were introducing.
It's just as I age, it has become clear to me that most people are lazy af. When you give them handouts, very few of them actually try to turn their life around. Instead, they simply expect more and more handouts.
I've seen enough of that failure in South American countries like Venezuela or Argentina. And trust me, growing up in those places as a person with yellow skin is not very different than a black person in North America. Discriminations and racism were daily occurrences. I thought eventually, people would try to be better.
The truth is, far too few people try to be better. They just want the status quo.
Many trashes Twitter now because it's different. It got out of their comfort zone. But if you see it objectively, it's better in pretty much any metric.
