This is publicity driven, can see no chance of it being successful.

Who knows what goes on in Elon Musk's head. He seems to be claiming that it is illegal for companies not to advertise on Twitter. That's just absurd. His claim also seems to fall foul of US First Amendment principles.

Twitter has gone down the sewer since Musk purchased it, I am so glad I deleted my account a while ago.

It's a cesspit. I have my own reasons for staying there, mainly because it's where the enemy is, but I totally understand why you would want to leave. It's why advertisers are leaving. Apartheid Clyde needs to look in the mirror. It's full of accounts like this👇

If Musk tweeted less and did his job more, he probably wouldn't need to work 16 hour days.

Have to like him being called

“He’s a contrarian moral cretin who has turned his contrarianism into Nazi apologetics.”

Grifting as well.
