Elon got what he wanted from Xhitter so I doubt he cares. But of course it’s good to leave a toxic environment behind.
Because he’s still a big manchild who needs to feel constantly loved.
All the promotion and sponsoring of Nazis and racism and pedophilia didn’t already drive them off of there?
I really think it’s kind of unimportant. Elon is the richest man in the world. There is quite literally no way for him to ever not be rich. He decided to target what turns out to be over half the country to use his social media platform, and it will now, even more than before, become a central communications tool for the hard right and incredibly politically important. That’s valuable and, in this case, dangerous. You know how people use to talk about how important Twitter was for organizing and political dissent? The Arab Spring? Occupy? Well, it works both ways.
Swifties leaving X is the most unimportant thing I’ve read in a while, and I’m on Lemmy. SpaceX is still the most important space program in the world and NASA is now utterly reliant on them. Tesla, even after the mass exodus of liberal consumers, is still one of the top 5 auto companies in net profit. Elon is still the richest man on the planet and is about to get a high-powered position in the federal government.
But the swifties left, so. You know. Great.
Network effects matter a lot for social media. You need people on a platform for people to use it
Every erosion of a platform’s users will matter. Platforms often die by a thoudand cuts. It doesn’t have to be a single death blow
Keep up the faith, bro.
And yet people want to stay on there to fight the good fight 🤦
There is quite literally no way for him to ever not be rich.
He could be dead.
Hell, a decent chunk of people related to him would be ok with that outcome.
Taylor Swift Mockingjay arc?

You underestimate the amount of Swifties.
Here’s an indication: https://metro.co.uk/2024/06/06/many-fans-taylor-swift-20986907/Numbers from the article if you don’t want to wade through everything:
- 105m monthly Spotify listeners
- 283m Instagram followers
- 32.8m TikTok followers
- 95.2m Xitter followers
- 58.2m adult (18+) swifties in the US
- Napkin math estimate of a billion-ish worldwide fans
Appreciated!

I like hats.
There’s no way that’s more important than anything else going on in the world today.
Is she even on Bluesky?
Problem is… You still think that Musk and his “buddy” play by the rules. Ticktock will be sooner or later blocked because is a china “spyware”, after that, who knows what kind of “terrorist movement” the government will find on Bluesky, or the Fediverse.
Sir, this is a post about a boycott. Also, tiktok is chinese spyware. All mainstream social media should be assumed to be spying on its users and doing dark pattern shit.
Sir dude, I’m here and I use bluesky and I love both of them, an that’s exactly why i’ve posted my first comment. Considering the Epic ammount of bullshit i’ve seen piling up during the election is not really too much of a stretch thinking how Musk will use his “pal” to undermine other socials. For what is worth, i hope I’m wrong.
