Ha ha! All the money in the world won't build you a Rantburg!

#4 ^ Actually, Musk could do no better than apply something similar to Rantburg's spamcopping protocol. I envision something like a snappy graphic accompanied by a wet fart sound to cover up egregious tweets. That's all some "blue checks" would everget.

While I don't always agree with Musk's dealings.

This is a major shakeup in the Social Media industry. It promises to have the others adjusting / toning down their bias political and social formats in order to retain user keyboard time numbers.

META/FB already has had a Bear market trading on Oct. 27th dropping from 129.4 to 98.3 losing 24.+% in just 1 day.

#7 Leftists don't understand markets, beyond hating that they work. The invisible hand is in the process of biotchslapping the woke corporate world.

It's a big hand and moves slowly, but it strikes with great force...

#10 Bless you all for being such a large part of what makes Rantburg so wonderful. If Mr. Musk manages to drag Twitter even a quarter so far in this direction, he’ll have done the world a vast service.

Who's betting against that?

I had no idea.

#19 The left's worst fear is that the truths they don't want heard will be spread far and wide.
