Acts like this just scream of impotence. If Elon wants to spend tons of money to buy a company that isn’t worth it… good for him. Where were acts like this when Bezos bought WaPo?

The difference is that Wapo stayed the same. Who knows what's going on with Twitter now? Maybe it's all some weird April fool's joke.

Everyone could know if they wanted to know, since Musk released the company's internal communications to a bunch of independent journalists. Between that and the constant media attention over every little thing he's done since he bought the company if you have no idea what is and has been going on with Twitter it's because you're not availing yourself of the available information resources.

Incorrect. It drastically changed in both its coverage and content - that was a scheme devised by Bezos for the company to turn a profit.

What’s going on with Twitter now? Don’t know, don’t care. Wasn’t a great company to begin with.

What scheme, to charge a monthly subscription fee gasp? Nothing else has changed

I only read the ny times before so no idea about wapo.

Twitter seems like it's just a place to hear what "influencers" want to broadcast to the world in 280 character snippets. I'm not into celebrities and influencers so I'll pass.

Washington Post is a functioning news outlet. Bezos has been largely hands off of it. musk has encouraged bigots and hate speech, spread outright lies, encouraged the demonization of innocent people, cozied up to brutal dictators, and is single handedly destroying the company. Something like 70% of advertisers have bailed. Most companies don't want their brand associated with antisemitism, and vaccine denial. I mean, fuck Bezos for sure but yours is a crappy analogy.

Do you think he'll let you give him a hand job or something if you keep simping for him? I can assure you he does not give a fuck about you or your defense of him. Not a single fuck.
