Yesterday, Elon Musk tweeted that the word cis "is a heterosexual slur."

Also yesterday: Reporting showed that Twitter has lost more than half it's value since Musk took over a year ago.

Musk's attempt to distract attention from the issues at Twitter is pathetic- but it's also useful because what Musk is doing with anti-trans rhetoric is exactly what conservatism is doing, and the stakes aren't the value of a company but human's survival on this planet. #trans #news

“Cis is a heterosexual slur” Tweets Elon Musk, Who Halved Twitter’s Value — Assigned

Reports of a staggering drop in the value of the worst social media site in the world coincided with Elon Must Tweeting that “cis” is a slur. Coincidence?

If someone paid that much for it, then it was worth exactly that at one point in time.

@e_urq He probably wants to be President ; it's obvious to me. Good old thing he wasn't born here!. Woo!

@e_urq He says these idiotic things constantly. He’s not smart enough to distract, he’s just full of hate and more hate.

What I do not like is how we let these asshats steer the conversation by the rest being reactionary.

I dearly want to hear things from good people, that aren’t reactionary, so we can get some leadership for the future. Because it’s damn thin there:(

70% loss? That IS more than half.
May the enterprise eat all his resources.

@e_urq Silly South African oligarch is probably mixing it up with the word 'sies' we use in South Africa which means 'gross'.

@e_urq Just like trans is a gay slur. His logic is impenetrable.

@e_urq

If we ignore #Musk, we will slow down his mission, which is to destroy #Twitter as a tool of mass communication.

That's the reason he bough it. To destroy it.

The more we talk about his "foolishness" and "stupid" acts, the faster #X, #Xitter, #Twitter dies

He already destroyed it. Now it needs to vanish as soon as possible so the next thing can arise. There is no coming back on this.
