Over the last few months, Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino keep trying to claim that exTwitter is actually growing and more used than ever. Yaccarino has talked about “largest usage days” without defi…
An interesting read actually, and while it still has the Elon bad bias, it’s nice to have actual data to back up usage statistics instead of opinion statements.
O agreed, however, just opinion pieces are redundant and not interesting to keep reading over and over. I like seeing the data that backs it up vs people just saying it’s declining.
I actively avoid twitter links at this point, never have any substance anyway.
I agree. Dude’s an idiot but blabbing without data is what redcaps do. Everyone else needs to do better. At the turnover of the year everyone was talking about Meta dying and Facebook almost gone even though usage was almost as high as ever and making billions in profits every quarter. Really shows how daft internet comments can be.
First off, Elon is bad. Calling it “Elon bad bias” is like Trump calling anyone who wants him to face trial “Trump haters.” Elon bad bias makes it sound like a) he isn’t actually bad, it’s just an opinion, and b) factual statements about Elon that describe the various ways in which he is indeed bad are just like Trump haters cherry picking the one or two not-bad-but-actually-good things he did. It’s the “fake news” of the Muskies.
Second, the entire article is about why the reported numbers are obvious bullshit. He’s using made-up KPIs that can’t be compared to others in the industry or to wxTwitter’s past performance. It’s like asking how a developer is doing and being told they have the highest number of characters committed or written per second for the past seven Mondays.
If he was looking at good numbers, he’d publish them. As it is estimates are that exTwitter’s worth has dropped between 2/3s and 90%. If the latter is correct, Musk has personally steered a company that was at the top of its market into utter ruin an $40B on fire just because he can’t admit a mistake.

So does reality, I wonder what causes it.

Thought I’d add: If anyone ever needs to check a Twitter link out, use a Nitter instance. You can self-host if you want.

Elon is pants on head retarded
All while his fans will tell you that pants-on-head is the new cool thing to do.
He’s fooled us all! He’s playing a game of 2-D Chess behind the scenes!

And that is one of the things that makes him bad.
