We took a close look at Elon Musk’s more than 150 million followers on X aka Twitter. What we found is…concerning.

      I think it’s more obsessed with musk. It’s hard to not watch a train wreck as it’s happening and it’s also astounding that people can’t seem to leave Twitter for the better places

      Because whether we like it or not, Twitter is still a major force in the overall internet space. Twitter is still one of the top 10 most used websites around the world, so what they do is news.

        And dumb shit Elon does with it has repercussions. Just look at Reddit deciding to charge ridiculous amounts for API use as a way to kill 3rd party apps not long after Twitter did it.

        Although honestly, I just shared this because I cracked the entire fuck up at most of Elon’s followers being bots and inactive users and wanted other folks to point and laugh with me.

          Oh yes, I’m always down to laugh at Elon. Kinda like watching streamers waste thousands of dollars on gacha games, I enjoy watching Elon burn through $44b worth of Twitter.
