Trump doesn't plan to return.

"I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH," Trump told Fox News. "I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH."

Trump told Fox News he will begin "TRUTHing" over the next week.

Trump doesn't plan to return.

i dont believe that for a second lol, if he gets his acc back he'll hop back on instantly

The ongoing meltdown over this across twiter and reddit etc is amusing. The terminally online are acting like the sky is falling.

(T)houghts?

I think it is sad that people use Twitter in the first place. Nothing but a platform that accelerates the decline of whatever culture we thought we had.

Nothing will change it will be the same old business with the exception of maybe a edit button or dislike button.

Elon owns Tesla and Tesla has no problems getting business from both sides of the coin

Two completely different types of businesses.

He intends to take the company private to move it away from the current ad model.

Of course he has to make money from it, there was already a paid twitter subscription available/in the works.

The amount he paid for twitter is insane and he could’ve built a new website and new model  if he really wanted too.

the problem with that would be getting people to use it, and it takes these social media sites a while to run themselves to the ground. facebook is declining and tumblr tanked itself, i doubt twitter would be going anywhere for a while though

TikTok, TikTok, TikTok...

TikTok, TikTok, TikTok...

tiktok and twitter appeal to fundamentally different audiences (although there is some overlap) and fulfill different purposes. twitter is the town hall for people who want to type out a quick opinion and sent it into the ether, tiktok is just short videos.

i do get you were probably just going for a pun there rather than direct comparison, but my overall point is there isnt any social network that does what twitter does right now (the right have made their attemps, like gab and whatnot, but theres a reason you probably havent heard of them lol). in the case of facebook it tanked simply because a lot of younger people weren't interested in what it had to offer. tumblr went down because yahoo! tried to solve the websites massive child p*rn problem by banning all p*rn (more complicated than that ofc, i think some sort of id system was involved, but thats the gist of i). musk would have to mess with the core aspects of twitter to really tank it, and it sounds like he wont be doing much beyond making the algorithm open-source and messing with advertising a bit.

anyways i would take any poll claiming a certain % of twitter users will leave with a mountain of salt. the same people that obsessively tweet and are most likely to bother responding to a poll on the topic also have an unhealthy addiction, i doubt any of them would last more than a week
