@chaser Just went the whole hog and deactivated both my private and professional twitter accounts

@princelysum @chaser welcome to the rebellion.

@mitka @princelysum @chaser I’m locked out of my account, so while no one’s tweeting from it, I still get the occasional alert (which I can’t turn off). 😭

@chaser he also chose to destroy Twitter as a flex against his ex!

@[email protected] No. He burned $44.000.000.000 to destroy a place loved by #trans people as a 'flex' because his ex is now happily together with a trans woman. Because #ApartheidEmeraldBoy never had to learn to accept a #no, facing #Accountability and #Consequences! NEVER FORGET THAT FACT!

@RushGirl @chaser

There may be a method to his madness if he's following a twisted version of the private equity model.
1. Buy company
2. Leverage it with debt
3. Sell it or have it declare bankruptcy

The problem is, the debt he's leveraging doesn't appear to be extractable for the investors.

Given that he paid $44 billion usd, and his 2018 Tesla bonus alone was $53 billion usd, he may simply have been (still is?) one of those children who played with toys by violently destroying them.

I really don't even want to speculate about this spongy sea-urchin, waste of time and I don't feel we all have a whole lot left.
Simply finally take matters in our hands and #EatTheRich

@RushGirl @chaser I don't understand the myth making around social media. It's literally just a website. anyone can host a website. Being popular doesn't make it special. There was no magic on the bird site except People, people are the magic.
Myth making brand loyalty makes as much sense as divine right of kings. I didnt mourn AOL or ICQ and I sure as fuck won't mourn 140 characters

@RushGirl @chaser the breakdown of communication usage may have been very deliberate- this is what we’ve come to

Mori Jul 25, 2023

@RushGirl @chaser What a naive and “late to the game” observation :-) Should have asked this question a decade ago, and the immediate answer should have been, “this service mustn’t be privately owned or publicly traded”. Twitter-people still seem to be waking up to their drained swamp. Typical when you’re on the inside of a shit-show

Bryan Jul 25, 2023

@chaser it's still Twitter. It's still Facebook

Unlike people who change their names to feel comfortable, these assholes do it to distance from the damage

stop thinking about it as twitter
by the way, stop thinking at all

Good to know.

Twitter it is, and shall forever be for me.

Marshall Eubanks Jul 25, 2023

@chaser Why, Elon? Are you going to pay us to use the new name?

I still call it "National Airport," and am waiting patiently for that name to revert officially. I suspect I'll outlast Mr. Musk.

Mar :🌻Jul 25, 2023

@chaser I'd almost go back on Twitter just keep calling it that and aggravate him.

ScottMGS Jul 25, 2023

@chaser I can't think of a better reason to keep calling it Twitter!

@chaser genial

@chaser lmfao 😂 💀

@chaser That guy is a grade A douche bag. Never liked him.

@chaser A descriptive text for that image for my blind followers: Elon Musk seemingly crying or having sweaty eyes.

@rolle @chaser

Elon Musk, trying to care about anything from deep within his K-hole. Alas, it's time for another fix.

Louee Jul 25, 2023

@chaser Twitter Twitter Twitter! Bwahahahaha!!! You are not the boss of me Lonnie.

Arthur Brainville Jul 25, 2023

@chaser If anybody is reading this stop calling the thing "Twitter", just remember that (at least in some context?) "x" can be short for "trans".

If you want to annoy a billionaire near you a bit more, that's a possible move...

@chaser oke (starts calling it "inferior mastodon")

@chaser Ok, twitter-boy.

@chaser I don't give a damn. It will always be called Twitter in my eyes, no matter what happens to it.

𝕏 is a stupid name anyway.

@chaser "The dumpster fire formerly known as #Twitter."

Ok, buy the name 'Twitter' and do something very different with it! 😉

Have We Considered That Maybe Elon Musk Just Hated Twitter & The People Who Use It All Along?

I wasn’t going to write about Elon changing Twitter’s name and branding to X, because… who cares? I’m not sure what the point is. But, a lot of people have been asking me my…
