Is this the "cage fight?" Thought the idea was for Musk to turn Zuckerberg's whelpish manner into a bro tough guy?

Apparently, 100 million people have downloaded the Threads app in the last 5 days which beat the old record for 100 million downloads by like 55 days. At the same time, traffic at Twitter is down.

Have to say… so far I find threads difficult to use and again Instagram serves a different purpose for me than twitter. I’m not a big fan of blending those two worlds But, more and more, I find myself seeking more in depth analysis. The issues we’re facing are too complex for such quick and short takes

It's basically Twitter for people who dislike the negativity of Twitter. They also seem to be intentionally avoiding amplifying political topics. I think Facebook/Meta (the owner of Threads) doesn't want to experience the backlash again like they got after the 2016 election so they're tip-toeing around news and politics.

Epic billionaire battle Twitter Traffic PLUNGES As Threads Hits 100 Million Users | Breaking Points And in the end, they eat their young. Aside from you guys, I rarely use social media other than reading stuff posted here. But I am taking an educated guess, based on what I have been hearing. I am betting that a good chunk of those inagural sign ups and posting was prompted by a lot of ticked off Twitter users, because of Musk's changes. Sort of a take that. That was initially, but I suspect that, since so many twitter buddies probably did the same thing ^, they got an immediate boost that a startup media site could never get. And the posters realized that Thread was not much different than Twitter, especially since I still have all my buddies. Honestly, I am thinking about signing up just to check it out.

It would please me to have Elon implode in an epic blast. His personal loss no doubt has blunted the nation's inflation so we can thank him for that.

Apparently the Twitter logo is now an X? Some long running obsession for Musk dating over 20 years. What a weirdo.

Twitter becomes X? It's the "New Coke" of this generation. I'm guessing it will have the same kind of results as well. Why bother spending billions to develop a brand, tens of billions to buy it out, and then abandon the brand recognition altogether? Can't wait to see the case studies in business schools a few decades from now, though I may be too old to remember anything by then.

That's an epic fail for a supposed free speech advocate. Once again, we see that one of the pillars of conservatism is hypocrisy. (Others appear to be corruption, racism, misogyny, disdain for education and stupidity).

I think the Mush/Zuck fight stuff is stupid and trashy but I do kinda want to see Musk get his butt kicked.

So Musk can allow antisemitism to run wild on X. But the ADL can't call it out?
Say what???

This is a SLAPP lawsuit and should be dismissed with prejudice on that basis.

Musk wants someone to blame for the fiasco that is his takeover of ‘X’ (god, how stupid is that?) and the ADL is a convenient scapegoat. The kind of people who have cheered him on of late will easily fall for this since the ADL is a familiar punching bag for them.

I begin to suspect Elon Musk of a mental health problem. Not much else explains him.
