When my wife and I took our civil rights trail/blues trail driving trip through the south a few years ago, I tried to find the Viola Liuzzo memorial marker along Alabama highway 8. Unsurprisingly, it's poorly marked and very difficult to find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take years and thousands or even millions may die, but it will happen. Maybe in 2030, 2040, beyond? That’s when we will see a Hands Across America again. Whoever comes through this will be eager for that kind of thing to happen. Edited November 4, 2022 by chasfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 So it's official: they are requiring payment for the blue check mark: This confirms it for me: I think Elon Musk is trying to destroy Twitter. I think it might be because as a billionaire who wants to rule the world, he needs to destroy accountability outlets, and Twitter is a main one of those. The criticism flows freely on Twitter and gets shared instantaneously and everywhere—destroy it, and he and his ilk escape one of today's main avenues of accountability. I bet his partners in equity and debt financing the deal are shitting a brick realizing that this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His social media 'audience' does not pay his bills. I certainly don't care if he burns down Twitter and loses tens of $billions in the process, other than the inconvenience of waiting for another platform for real time news aggregation to arise I have no dog in Elon's fight.

You'd think at 100. 200 billion, you wouldn't care about the $, but it never seems to go that way. Maybe it's just the competiveness about not being a 'loser', and Musk is potentially a huge loser on Tesla stock, which I really have a hard time believing is not going to drop another 75% before it's done. So I still tend to think that somehow he wants to turn Twitter into a win financially. Which is not to say it might not be a totally different product once he's done with it.
