I predicted this would happen. But the speed and breadth of the purge are still shocking.
@DavidOAtkins At least the first prediction has come to pass… 🤞 regarding the rest.
@DavidOAtkins i would very much like this to be the case
@DavidOAtkins Yeah, this was inevitable, I just thought it would take him a year to reach this point.

@jkfecke @DavidOAtkins Musk is the Kyrsten Sinema of social media tycoons.

I thought it would take a lot longer for Musk to do what he’s been doing. I thought he needed liberal media accounts too much lest it become Truth Social or the like. I also have to admit I missed that he’s basically a further right wing version of Peter Thiel. I feel kind of stupid about this, the signs were all there.

@DavidOAtkins and Elon Musk broke, yelling on a street corner.
@ChristineDantz @DavidOAtkins Careful, if you say which street corner he's yelling at random traffic and pedestrians from he'll ban you from his imaginary social network!
@HallGrae @DavidOAtkins Oh, I'd pay to see that day ... 😂
@DavidOAtkins you forgot the nationalization of SpaceX!
@DavidOAtkins Please add alt text to images.
@DavidOAtkins @norsellie Yes, please add alt text to include more readers. Some apps include easy “text recognition” so it’s pretty easy to do without typing.
@DavidOAtkins @shanselman I keep promising I won’t talk about the dumpster fire on the bird app, but yeah, David’s comment seems real prescient!

@DavidOAtkins
It seems to be accelerating...and I'm okay with that. The sooner he gets to the SBF-style consequences, the better.

The GOP is going to regret losing Twitter, I agree. The inability to push propaganda on mastodon is going to make this place a better experience for all users.

@DavidOAtkins theory, Musk is driving this into the ground so he can buy back his debt cheaper.
@DavidOAtkins Move fast and break things (the stupidest tech / startup saying ever) — but Musk is taking it to a new level.

@DavidOAtkins I expected Twitter would experience some kind of system failure before it goes bankrupt. Maybe a crash in the next 60 days.

You can only expect so much from the backup JV team he has left at Twitter running from crisis to crisis.

@DavidOAtkins i worry that deplatforming won't be the worst he does to "enemies", not to speak the details of what I suspect he'll do aloud.
@DavidOAtkins Wait until musk demands a bailout for both Tesla and twitter.
@DavidOAtkins 🤞he can share a federal cell with *rump

@DavidOAtkins

And lots of people losing money on the crypto scams Musk promotes on twitter or creates to be used on twitter.

@DavidOAtkins Got dang that's a bunch of hits and few misses in terms of prediction.
@DavidOAtkins
my theory is that elon and his investors wanted to shut down ukraine hype.
