Are You A Twitter Quitter?
Paying for social media is a good idea, but I’m not giving shit to Elon Musk
I’m not paying for Twitter.
Oh, hell no. I’m not giving $8 every month to Elon Musk. No. No, No. Absolutely not.
I still haven’t decided whether to be a Twitter Quitter.
There’s a mass exodus of people leaving the platform and I’m probably going to leave as well. If he restores Trump, that’s my red line.
My refusal to pay for Twitter is more a disapproval for Musk’s highly inappropriate posting history than anything else. He can talk about “fixing” Twitter all he wants, but he’s one of the most egregious examples of what’s wrong with it.
If you believe Musk is going to fix Twitter, you would probably also have confidence in a fox claiming he would fix the henhouse.
One of his first (now-deleted) tweets after buying the bird was a really horrifying and about the attack on Paul Pelosi, and now he’s butthurt about advertisers leaving.
He blames everyone but the person responsible — himself. His cries of freedom of speech are laughable…
