I'm just glad he'll be running the US Gov for Trump.... actually, he and Trump have the same amount of business acumen. Zero.

Between Project 2025 appointments, RFK Jr and Musk, a second Trump presidency should be one hellava cluster ---- if, God forbid, it should it ever come to pass.

#7 That's because people can't quit Twitter. Posters on the Retort follow people on X, copy Tweets as facts here all the time. Weird.

This is such a true statement, all people have to do is not use it and it will go away.

You mean people haven't. I never post a tweet from Xitter here. I can't remember the last time I logged in. That said it is still a popular platform.

#10 Good for you, I never had a Twitter account. It's amusing how much the left on this site love to hate Musk. Thread after thread, Tweet reposts after Tweet reposts. It is obvious they can't quit him. I am sure he laughs all the way to the bank with their accounts/follows.

He bought it.
Dude's a turd who recycles other people's big ideas with better marketing.
Twitter was his first real go at doing something himself.
