Journalists, if you're still pouring your work into Saudi-government-funded Twitter even partly on the hope that someone will see it embedded somewhere else, Musk's latest move makes that much less likely.

Since the ethics of supporting his cheerleading for extremism aren't on your agenda, maybe practicality will make you reconsider your devotion to his increasingly vile site?

I hope you will call on the #ECONOMISTS males in #academia whose sense of self worth seems to be driven by the number of followers there... And are unwilling to let go.
@Econtwitter
@dangillmor it's a shame they can't hear us from inside their walled (fascist) garden.....

@dangillmor

the right can continue to brainwash those who stay on twitter resulting in more gop votes.

they do not want to be fact checked or publicly contradicted.

he has hamstrung a wonderful tool that promoted knowledge and help.

this is how the rich play.

@dangillmor can you explain meaning by Saudi government funded twitter?

@dangillmor I am starting to believe that they are all-in on his extremism. It generates page views. They can hate the man but love the clicks.

That’s horrible, mind you. But it’s a practice as old as journalism.

@dangillmor Musk is making it easier, by blocking anyone from browsing the site without logging in first. The more walls he erects, the fewer users and visitors he'll have...
