They simply want a place where they can spew their bile all over anybody or anything which displeases them without being accountable for their comments or defend them. It’s only a fair fight if it’s one-sided in their favour.
What is a “Jameela” ? and why do I care?
Philip: You HAVE TO care because if they’ve lost Jamela whats-her-name, who’s next? It could be someone REALLY big like, well, someone who doesn’t have to write their own Wikipedia entry.
There’s only one other job Jameelia can work that will pay her SF Bay Area rent. It’s a job much older than her Twitter gig … some call it the oldest profession in the world. And Jameelia can still work from home. In fact, she never need get out of bed.
Flour/wetspot!
“but where they can go now?” They can go to hell for all I care. All big platforms are garbage, and Elon Musk will need a lot of time to turn things around with Twatter. That is IF the deal goes through.
DanC … “IF the deal goes through”
Currently Twitter is like an anthill of radical leftists. One CEO at the top will have great difficulty changing the internal ethic unless he brings in all new top and senior managers who are onboard with him. Even then it will be nearly impossible to change the internal ethic without mass firings. If most of the radical leftists workers remain in place , expect internal sabotage . Either way Twitter could be destroyed , and Musk is probably being advised what lies ahead … hence the hedging.
Set off the fire alarms, where every staffer must vacate the building. Once that is done:
1- Uniformly delete all userids, passwords and logins of staff.
2- Also, delete the entry card credentials is said staff. They can no longer enter the premises.
3- hand them a severance package, so they can’t action for wrongful dismissal. The cost of doing business, and minimizing e-sabotage.
Musk needs to clean house, with extreme prejudice, if there’s any chance of success. Otherwise, the snowflakes within will consistently do everything they can to hurt the new boss and the company.
Elon must act fast and deliberately. The software will look after itself, in the short run.
Dan.
Excellent scenario….
So Let it be written…
Tis kinda like one of my Fav movie quotes: We should just nuke em from orbit…just to sure of course.
He says he intends mass firings. / I think his “hesitancy” is a strategy to get a better price.
Elon should liquidate 1 in 2 of everybody, just like what needs to be done with government here. No replacements, none required.
They should just make their own twitter.
Hm. Did the Politico link in my first post cause it to be become unpersonned? Oh well. My basic point until that was that was that these people have to find somewhere else digital to matter because they don’t matter in real life. And that would be anathema to them, they must be important because they think/know that they are.
I’m already starting to notice left wing idiots starting to show up on gab. It’s hilarious.
Leftists are so intolerant that they cannot even be on the same social media as people who have a different point of view.
Leftists are so intolerant, that if they cannot silence people who have a different opinion, leftists will either explode in rage or leave the conversation to go where everyone agrees with them.
Leftists are so intolerant that just the thought of having to hear a different point of view makes them ill or makes them cry.
Then once they are among other leftists that think like they do, they complain about how intolerant we conservatives are. ( oh yes they are THAT blind to who they are ! )
I would say leftists are like spoiled rotten 4 year old kids who refuse – kicking and screaming – to eat vegetables and will only eat cookies,
but leftists are actually much more dysfunctional than that.
They are dangerously dysfunctional.
The funniest part is the Big, Bad Boogie-Musk has not even closed the Twitter deal yet.
Cope and Seethe.
Cope and Seethe.
most of the so called “influencers” seem to have lost a whole bunch of followers all of sudden, as if a million bots cried out in terror and were deleted…
Elon’s Death Star took aim … and … The Force interrupted
L – The question being asked of Twitter is what percentage of their accounts are just bots?
Their traditional response of somewhere under 5 percent is in question. If it is higher than admitted the value of their shares would be affect. This because advertising dollars are based
on the number of humans the ads can potentially reach.
If for example, one or more foreign governments or those with seditious(hostile to the West) ideologies. Say those, who do not allow themselves, nor their ideology to be criticized. If some higher percentage of accounts operate bots for commercial or ideological purposes now. Then the current shares are over valued. The Board of Directors have not lived up to their fiduciary duty or worse. Should Twitter be re-evaluated lower, then Elon Musk can do the buy out with fewer billions. Secondly, he can from that evaluation more easily increase share prices with a
renewed interest. His account alone has 88 million followers. When Donald J. Trump’s account is re-instated. The subsequent activity alone, should raise share values.
Elon Musk is taking a financial risk based on a belief in the value of Free Speech. As a creative genius, he’s Tesla’s Marketing Department. What are the odds, he knows how to grow both the Twitter active accounts and profitability ? High and in his favour.
At 7 plus billion inhabitants, earth should have a few dozen like him, with the ability to create
value by solving problems others can’t. Instead, we’re over run with people whose “genius” in
how to create new problems, to add to the current problems, knows no limits e.i. followers of the World (anti-)Economic Forum.
there are several tools out there that do analysis of followers to see how many are bots, dead accounts, etc….
the person listed at the top, is running at about 8% bots in the one million or so followers they allegedly have based on one tool… if other tools show the same, they twitter is obviously overstating their revenue
They can just go to the CBC and read comments over and over until they are reassured that they are in a safe place.
“Where can they go?”
That’s rhetorical? Yes? Twitter has been acting as an arm of government since being co-opted by one of the two main parties. So, where they go is already established. They receive a lateral transfer into some other intrusive location. It’s no different from a White House press secretary scooting over to MSNBC…or John Brennan scooting over to CNN.
Simple fact, when a faction of ideology controls everything, they perceive group ownership and staff it accordingly. You’d think some of the corporations out there have an HR office in the US Capitol (Boeing is a great example).
re : HR office in the capitol – I’ve seen an IBM office in a Canadian gov’t owned building; Big gov’t-owned towers full of bureaucrats, giving office space to IBM (not in the retail area with the quickie mart and nail salon!). Apropos, an old saying in gov’t IT sales: It doesn’t matter if the work costs 10x as much, no bureaucrat has ever been fired for contracting IBM, even if they f— it up.
… … their reputation and influence are almost unassailable for the smaller players.
Even the Germans did in the ’30s as the IBM punch card system – when allied with a detailed census – proved invaluable.
Twitter was not co-opted by one of the parties, Twitter like so many others was start up financed by Christians In Action, thereby being forever beholden to them. The alphabet agencies are the deep state, twitter was then handed gift wrapped to the party which most lavishly funds government, i.e the deep state, and therefore the Dems.
I used to ascribe evil genius to these folks, more and more i think just greedy and power hungry kleptocrats, thus so much bungling.
Irony abounds! ^_^
I’m so glad I’m an old dude and can take care of myself and completely ignore social media.
I’m betting 20% of the accounts are bots. Musk will drop his bid by $10 to $15.
You can bet on it.
If the bot numbers are significantly larger than Twitter advertised to their customers then they all have a potential lawsuit against Twitter.
If so this could wipe them out.
And it some big woke company that advertised with Twitter based on the fake numbers doesn’t sue, then maybe the shareholders of that company can sue the board.
It would be kind of cool if Twitter was sued into nothingness, that would wipe out Trump’s Truthsocial’s biggest competitor.
Leftists leaving Twitter is like that kid who if he does not win, grabs his toys and goes home.
Sooo mature !

Well these same cretins were very loud in their advice to conservative users of twitter,when they complained of being silenced..
Maybe these virtuous twits could follow their own advice..
Har har.
Well, shutting off isn’t an alternative for these people. Without an audience they have no marketable “skills”.
edit – they also don’t understand enough about the world outside their own bubble. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/13/liberals-should-worry-conservative-comedy-00031907 doesn’t mention either Rush Limbaugh or Blue Collar Comedy. Things only fit into slots that they, themselves approve. Celebrity culture seems to work online much better than in real life, Angelyne notwithstanding.
They simply want a place where they can spew their bile all over anybody or anything which displeases them without being accountable for their comments or defend them. It’s only a fair fight if it’s one-sided in their favour.
