He's right that it shouldn't take so long to move them, but not taking any precautions at all shows what a baboon he truly is.

Seeing as how it caused over two months of issues, as well as other headaches they're still dealing with, Musk probably should have listened.

Of course we won't hear the follow up of how trashed the servers were over the next months of constant crashing and how he just cost them way more money than it should have if he had done it the way they explained it to him.

No his story of delusional exceptionalism is more valuable to him than having workers who refuse to do things the wrong way.

Even if that was indeed the case, I don't see the Muskrat being any smarter when he's sober. The wealth and power he was born into has largely insulated him from consequences, so he's never really had to learn much of anything.

Too bad he never learned any humility after being pushed down some stairs as a kid for bullying another kid.

Yep. Musk absolutely had that one coming, considering that not only was he bullying some other kid, he was straight-up mocking the fact that said kid's dad had just died to his face.

The only thing worse than Elon are people who complain about him, but still use twitter.
Anyone still using the platform is just enabling him in his unhinged behavior.

Whether you like it or not, twitter is his private property and he can do whatever he wants with it.
The only thing we can do is cancel him. And that's going to happen only if majority of users leave twitter. Which doesn't look likely.

I don't really care what it reeks of, the sad truth is that way too many people can't imagine their lives with twitter and that needs to stop.
I'd love if Musk completely ran it to the ground, to the point of no return.

Current twitter is just a cesspool that enables all kinds of degenerates to spread their nonsense to the world.

You have it backwards, Twitter does not dictate human behavior, human behavior dictates Twitter.
A platform can only control how quiet or loud it lets them be, but they are not going to go away just because Twitter dies.

Current Twitter isn't the way it is because that's just how certain people are. It's the way it is because Musk unbanned and then signal boosted nazis, thus making it unsafe for certain groups of people to be on there. And while he was busy protecting slurs, threats, and hate speech, he was banning words like "cisgender" and declaring the ADL to be the real bigots.

Exactly. No social network will ever be a decent place, especially not a mostly anonymous network like twitter, but claiming that it's the people is absolutely wrong.
Sure, it's the people, but only because they're enabled to do so. Once upon a time degenerates used to be banned, now as you say they're boosted and almost advertised.

Sure, they could go to another site if they get banned, but no other social network has as much exposure as twitter.
