Elon Musk Will Buy Twitter!

Birdbrain buys Twitter.

Looks like Twitter will become MySpace in three years. The future of the microblogging and social media platform is uncertain and the South African billionaire will turn the company into a hot mess.

Folks are already concerned that he will bring back white nationalism, bad faith actors and reinstate Washed Up 45's social media platform in the wake of the 2024 elections.

You already know Musk's arrogance will bring the once powerful platform down.

He will purchase the company for over $45 billion.

Musk who has been under fire for promoting conspiracy theories, junk science and hateful content wants to take over the social media platform by any means necessary.

Knowing he doesn't have the money to buy it, he will try to make the social media platform private and he will advocate for unfiltered "free speech."

"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matter vital to the future of humanity are debated," Musk said in a press release. He wants to change algorithms, get rid of spam bots and add new features.

I am seeing New Coke and Crystal Clear Pepsi. I am seeing MySpace.

I am seeing that a douchebag will ruining the platform and give space to innovators who will launch a new platform for social media folks who feel that Musk has too much power and is clueless on how to run a social media company.

The deal will require him to step down from Tesla. He might also have to leave SpaceX as well. It will be a three year departure.

I remember when Tom Anderson founded MySpace. At its peak, it had over 450 million users. He was a billionaire in five years. Then he decided to sell his company to News Corp, the company founded by far-right billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Murdoch and his company Fox were running far-right propaganda and racism masquerading as news.

Folks felt that Murdoch messed up the company and gave a fledging company like Facebook and opportunity to rise to the become the No. 1 social media platform.

Tom now has a stake in Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. He does on occasions post on social media.

Had Tom not sold to Murdoch, MySpace would still be the reigning social media company.
