    I dont understand why regulars are so mad. He literally owns twitter. He can do whatever he wants to do with it. Regulars dont have to engage , if you dont like it , leave. Its that simple.

    I dont use twitter myself but regulars going crazy about all these stunts doesnt make any sense.

    I own a white Toyota and I paint it red. Nobody can do anything about it because I own the Toyota. Same is the case with twitter .

      While I think you car analogy is flawed, maybe a bus analogy would be better?

      Anyway, I think the biggest complaint is really about what the site was, what it was for, and now what he’s done to the site to destroy all of that. It’s not the first time something with a lot of users, readers, fans, etc absolutely hated when a new direction or ownership of a company ruined everything they loved about the company.

      People have spent YEARS of their lives on that site. It wasn’t my main jam, easy to delete for me, but it was a source of news and what’s happening right now. But for some people, especially those with a following, it was their main voice and this dumb billionaire manbaby is just destroying it.
