Summary
X, formerly Twitter, faces its largest user exodus, fueled by Elon Musk’s controversial leadership and Donald Trump’s election victory.
Rivals like Bluesky and Threads are gaining traction, with Bluesky surpassing 16 million users.
Musk’s dual role as platform owner and head of Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency raises ethical concerns, particularly as X becomes a hub for alt-right content and political influence.
Speculation grows over a potential merger with Trump’s Truth Social, but tensions between Musk’s business interests and Trump’s policies could strain their relationship, shaping X’s uncertain future.
Elon has the ear of the president-elect now (for the time being anyway, until he gets Scaramucci’d). Of course they’re going to try to make him happy.
Corporations are sociopaths. They don’t care about what’s right, they car about what creates the most value for the stockholders.
