It would get people to follow Twitter. I for one don’t.

Also it’s an apolitical platform.

Bad link but you fixed.. or someone did in the thread.. but this is incredibly significant.. and a coup for Elon Musk.. I never knew his content creation/monetization policy.. which is brilliant. And what a way to spread the news by tacking it to Tucker’s viral post.. thanks

Yeah, we’ll see. Musk doesn’t shy away from things he believes in. Spending billions because he believes we should colonize Mars and deliver independent internet via Starlink (he’ll make billions on his holdings when he takes SpaceX public). He spent $44 billion - which he admits was an impulsive move at the price - just to make Twitter “apolitical” as you called it. A public town square for anyone. And then he opened up the books to let independent journalists see exactly how Twitter was previously being steered like cattle by government operatives.

And now he’s threatening Google with “TruthAI”. Everyone in tech is on the AI thing right now, but as Musk said (on Tucker’s show!) it’s all in how it’s programmed. If it is programmed to find and deliver results that are sourced from governments and interest groups then AI will just be another form of propaganda but if it is programmed to analyze sources of information and rank their credibility it could be liberating - which is what the Internet promised us 20 years ago but is no longer so.

Why wouldn’t he then also go after the likes of Youtube and other services to stream content, TV productions, podcasts etc? It’s what he said he wanted, to make Twitter “X” - the everything app. Payments, services, streaming, blogging, chatting, messaging etc.

The twitter format makes it easy to go viral. I regularly share amusing twitter urls to people via phone text.

It would be better FOR CNN if they signed up Tucker... But I’m OK with Twitter. Guess when Tucker starts producing shows again I’ll have to sign up for twitter...
