Elon just went through several bad ideas to come back to the original checkmark system from 2015. The left think they just played him.
A radio station was replacing their popular DJs but knew there would be backlash. So, the new DJs pretended to be hosts for new trial DJs that were awful. Soon people were demanding the new DJs stay in charge.
I get the feeling that just happened. Did Elon do that, or was it happenstance?
Please elaborate.
There is a conspiracy going around that Elon owning Twitter is basically just a meme that went to far and now he is in over his head and trying to find a way out.
I dont buy it. It doesnt matter if you are the richest man in the world. You dont blow tens of billions of dollars on a meme. I think Elon had a plan, got a lot more pushback than he was expecting, and is now trying to adapt the plan to make sure he can actually pull off his whole "Turn Twitter into a free-speech platform" and be in a secure position before he draws the Eye of Sauron upon him.
If we are being more honest, I think him talking to groups like the ADL at the same time they were killing his advertising, and then using them killing his advertising as an excuse to yeet the ADL and say "I am not working with them" while looking reasonable to the average Normie.
I don't buy it either.
The Internet is a stupid place.
There was a lot of Democrat coping along this same line when Trump won in 2016, too. All sorts of "experts" came out of the woodwork to lecture the peasants on how his manner of speaking, dress, facial expressions, hirings and firings, etc. all meant he stumbled into the office and was now scared and flailing. This strikes me as more of the same, and from almost entirely the exact same people.
I'd say not. He's actually got good ideas that would make it competitive against YouTube, Twitch and Tik Tok
