Last week, I mostly hoped he'd see sense, or his advisors (or bankers) would wrestle his phone away.

Think it's too late for that now. Tipping point's already passed. Engagement here is falling off a cliff, and whole communities are getting established elsewhere.

And it gets worse. The more the accounts leave, the fewer eyeballs the remaining advertisers will have, and the fewer paid signups will happen. But the debt repayments are fixed and large, and don't care. So he'll need to rent-extract more and more aggressively to stem the flood

He doesn't understand the platform and killed the goose laying his golden eggs. It'll continue to death-spiral essentially indefinitely from here, as more and more big accounts and advertisers and whole network groups here migrate out to Mastodon, or long-form platforms elsewhere

Every single one of his ideas are badly thought through. Not just the technical ones, like how content moderation isn't trivial, but even insanely basic ones like "should I pick a price and stick with it" or "what is Twitter's crown jewels and how do I keep them from leaving"

Probably too late, but

1) Hire a proper CEO with relevant experience

2) Stop insulting the users

3) Stop threatening the advertisers

4) Stop amplifying and empowering crazy people

5) Delete the owner's account and communicate through PR professionals.

Institutions are fragile. They can be destroyed really easily. And that seems to be happening here in real time.

Every Elon tweet right now just has hundreds of replies from random people trying in vain to explain how literally any of this works to him and it is some of the funniest shit I have ever seen on this site

Anyone else have a feeling that the layoffs here, combined with the $8 cash grab...is because they might be worried about making payroll? If they are losing $4m a month, where's the operating capital coming from if advertisers have bailed?

It's been 6+ years! You stayed on board—maybe with anti-anti-, but still on board—not only through abuses in office, but also after he cost you the Senate, attempted a coup, and illegally held NatSec secrets. He knows you'll go along with anything and that you know his fans won't pic.twitter.com/zJ8wqddkuD

This is what prompts their disgust.

Trying to illegally overturn the 2020 election? Eh, that's just Trump being Trump.

Mocking DeSantis as sanctimonious? "Well, I never! That's beyond the pale!" https://t.co/ytp636NpzV

The right hate the elites and the experts, but you throw a lab coat on someone with a Dr title, or give them a loudmouth billionaire with gold toilets, that tell them exactly what they want to hear and they’ll form a cult of personality around that person.

Could taking money from foreign govts, kissing up to authoritarians, trying to extort US partners, lying incessantly, and trying to overthrow the Constitution be actually bad?
No, because I'm good and I anti-anti-ed that. The GOP rejecting Trump in 2024 will prove it. You'll see.

Remember, only the @GOP and their crack teams of child rapists, wife beaters, pedophile molesters, secret abortion funders, serial adulterers, and shrieking incel podcast hosts can save your child from the horror of being read to by a drag queen at the library. pic.twitter.com/4j3Bk6ukH2
