Elon Musk just announced that he has accepted the outcome of his online poll and decided to reinstate Donald Trump’s Twitter account.
@austinkocher "accepted" Ha! The poll was targeted at followers of his account. This account has become the favorite place for MAGA diehards ever since he more-or-less said that he was buying twitter so that he could bring Trump back. Once again, this minority creates the impression that they are a majority simply because they have the support of some rich guy.
@ottomate @austinkocher
I think there are a lot of configurations of Twitter that could eek out a living for a decade before finally folding. For instance, tt could end up as content aggregator for passive media consumers combined with a comments section/forum for the GOP base. The site currently has a lot of value to capitalists; even if it loses half of its value, it still has a lot of value.
@DecaturNature @austinkocher If MuskmElon is counting on MAGA traffic to refloat the sinking bird brand....another miscalculation.
