Today was a wild day on #Twitter

I am hoping that Eli Lilly sues Twitter, and Biden's FTC investigates EM's international ties. He is clearly the inept, ruthless capitalist anyone could see from a mile away.

The worst part is that Twitter had become the preeminent home for authoritative voices across the world in a number of niches, channels, governments, and interests. This should be a wakeup call for anyone who seriously believes that anarchy is a good idea. People are better off reading a book these days.

@MattInCincy513 @taylorlorenz Don't know about Lilly but the FTC is watching it very closely and has stated that they're "deeply concerned". They don't fuck about. Twitter is already on a Consent Decree, and today, they missed filing a required report. You don't blow off the FTC like Elon does the SEC.

I agree with you...Bankruptcy is a true possibility if the newly stated goal of 50% subscriptions doesn't materialize.
The government review cannot arrive soon enough.
So surreal on that app.

@MattInCincy513 It's crazy alright. And he can't say he wasn't warned. He's so out of touch with reality.

@MattInCincy513 @taylorlorenz lol what would Eli Lilly have to sue him over? It's the users who are responsible.

You... You... You're saying this on social media network that is anarchism in practice.

@Kichae
so people shouldn't talk about it, for fear that people are too dumb to know the difference between a discussion and encouragement. is that your point?

How have you discussed it? You just raised the term, declared this to be a good example as to why anarchism bad, and done it in the most ironic way possible.

What was *your* point, exactly? What are *you* discussing? Because pretending you're contributing to some kind of discourse while just verbosely rolling your eyes isn't actually communicating anything of value.
