He strikes me a bit of a weapon. Let's hope the rumors that he's in talks with FTC to buy this place are unfounded.

Twitter is already a cesspit. Whether any new ownership makes it better or worse will only ever be an issue of degrees.
But let's not be distracted. As Spike correctly points out, the real issue is whether FTC intends to cash in and sell this place to him.

I'm surprised by some of the reaction from certain people, given an African American has become such an influence and success.

I was going to buy one of his electric motors but the longest extension lead I could find was a 50 yarder at Screwfix

He strikes me as a bit of a fruitcake. Is he someone you'd want in charge of a social network than influences millions of the hard-of-thinking.

Easy to create wealth when
You are born into wealth though .

The man who owns twitter genuinely thinks things are moving too far to the left. Terrifying.

Pretty sure the wokes are down on all the billionaires, but especially those that control the media.

Do kids still use twitter?
I thought it was used by the 30 to 60 bracket.
I thought it was Facebook for over 40s, twitter for 30s - 40s, insta for 20s - 30s and embarassing 40s, snapchat and the tiktoks for teens and 20s? Plus Forums for all those who refuse to let go of the early 00s.

You're correct. Hence why it's mainly a combination of Insta and Twitter for me (I just use this board in a quirky/ironic sense).

Musk is lunatic, but no fool. Twitter obviously doesn't have a handle on the actual number of users it has
