But all this shows is that Musk can't handle being snubbed. Even for 24 hours.

EDIT: Musk deleted that, then tweeted something worse.

FWIW, I agree with this response to the second tweet from Noise Bomb @SnarkBolan:

OTOH, it's possible Trump is making some demands behind the scenes - maybe demanding that Musk agree to never censor him, or maybe even demanding that Musk buy Truth Social first - and Musk is pissed off about that, so he's needling Trump in this juvenile way. But I've never seen Trump respond positively to ridicule.

(2,173 posts)Elon is a spoiled brat who knows nothing about how real people live. Twitter is being ruined and Im sad about that.
So many people are so gleeful about it ending because they were never on it, so they don't know what it really was. It was so funny, and fast-paced, and everyone was whip smart, at least the people I followed. And there was nothing better for getting on the ground, as it's happening, news from literally anywhere in the world. There was always someone who had an interesting article to share, or the results of a study that was eye-opening. And it has been instrumental for people in countries with repressive governments to communicate with each other and the rest of the world. We're losing something that was valuable.
And yes, of course, there have always been trolls and MAGAts and assholes, but depending on who you followed, a lot of that just never reached you. But not the last two weeks. It's like the floodgates have been opened. I'll be scrolling a thread, and suddenly, like flaming dog shit on your front porch, there will be some vile, take your breath away, piece of bigoted, or anti-Semitic, or transphobic garbage.
I deleted my account yesterday when Musk reinstated TFG, because I want him to see a tangible backlash to that decision. I hope I'm not the only one. But I'm sad. I'm sad that there are so many people that find pleasure in destroying something that other people like. Musk and the MAGAts never got any pleasure from Twitter because they didn't understand it, so instead they'll just smash it. They feel inferior so they destroy what you love to get an adrenaline rush from your hurt and disappointment.
I'll miss it. Even though it's still lurching forward, it's not the same as it was. It's meaner and stupider. Twitter is already dead. This is Truth Social Lite.

(5,164 posts)I will be deleting soon I think. I dont want to support that or be subjected to that crap anymore. At least one good point is I never read anything there except if its posted here and now I dont go to the site at all unless it tricks me into it.
I see a lot of whats happening now as the fault of the media that started allowing all of these reality crap shows on it helped to further degrade the society overall.

(49,004 posts)700K likes. Musk has to think he's the coolest over-age tween nerd on Twitter. His investors are going to have drinking problems if they don't already.
As for advertisers... the reply to Musk from Noise Bomb that I quoted at the end of the OP - "So classy. So grown up. So long advertisers." - has 1500 likes.
