Nobody knew what they were signing up for when they signed up for Twitter, but it certainly wasn’t Elon Musk’s “X.” I have been on Twitter since the very early years; I joined in March 2009. I was a verified blue check member when media were verified, but I’ve taken long breaks from Twitter in the past. Now that Twitter has officially changed and become “X,” I see no reason stay. I didn’t sign up for X, and now I’m done.
The takeover by Elon Musk, whose politics and demeanor I find abhorrent, has been intolerable, but I stuck around. By abhorrent, I don’t mean that he’s a Tech Dude Bro who says things that are brash and pseudo-intellectual and generally offensive to anyone with a questioning mind. I believe Musk is dangerous.
