The Twitter Clown Show

Alright folks, let’s cut to the chase: Twitter’s a complete and utter clown show. I mean, Elon’s really gone and screwed the pooch on this one.

But hey, don’t get me wrong – before the misinformed Tesla guy came along, I invested more time and energy into this platform than I care to admit. I’m talking 60K tweets, people. That’s a whole lotta brain cells I ain’t getting back.

But you know what? I’m not giving up on social media altogether. No sirree. I’m taking my talents and spending more time over to the Post and Mastodon sandboxes. Sure, they might not have the same level of clout as Twitter, but at least I won’t have to wade through a sea of hot takes, massive misinformation, and political BS every time I log on.

So if you’re feeling fed up with the Twitterverse and all its clowns constantly juggling nonsense in your face, come on over and kick the tires on some of these alternative platforms. Who knows, you might just find your new social media home.

Read the Twitter vs Elon Musk Lawsuit

elon mush twitter lawsuit

Elon Musk entered into an agreement to buy Twitter for $44 billion dollars.

Several months later, Musk is now alleging that Twitter breached the deal by failing to provide him with data needed to evaluate bot and spam accounts. Twitter denies his allegations and has filed a 60-plus-page lawsuit accusing Musk of breaching the agreement and seeking to compel him to follow through with the deal.

This is the lawsuit. Give it a read. What do you think is going to happen next?

PS- If you’re a lawyer (or play one on TV), who would you rather represent? Twitter or Elon Musk? Please share your answer in my Twitter or LinkedIn polls.
