If all the brands and celebs who allegedly hate Musk left to a new platform, Twitter would actually have an existential problem. Twitter's only distinguishing feature is that it's a brand and celebrity site, a place where you can worship or dunk on professionals and elites 24/7 and without delay.badmachine wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 9:57 amprediction: nothing will come of it, sadlyOgnistysztorm wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 5:47 amThis is big.

Politics aside, this is really the Hollywood moment for Big Tech. I heard somewhere that you have a book in the works that pulls a similar fashion against Wikipedia; maybe it's time to resuscitate and publish it now that public opinion will turn against Big Tech?

Re: Twitter's decline
Twitter is still losing ad revenue, down 59% over about a year. And as of a couple months ago.

Many prominent journalists and news organizations also seem to be leaving Twitter or at least scaling back. But few celebrities are.

Re: Twitter's decline
Now Musk is suing everyone within striking distance
-Meta (Since he cannot do he sues)
-Twitter's takeover defense firm
And he agreed to price-fix Tesla cars in the Chinese Market
-He has no problem violating the Sherman Act
-He had to deep discount the cars into the Chinese market - as a result of price cuts the existing owners of Tesla lost face (as the car they purchased lost some luster as an elite luxury vehicle - Folks in China buy Tesla cars without a pot to piss in for face)
Twitter and Wikipedia - there is nothing proprietary other than a large user-base and a large volume of data respectively.
Wikipedia and Tesla - In terms of Wikipedia there is restraint of trade on the part of Google via search prioritization. Musk ventures exploit and depend on government inputs worldwide.
