I have a feeling that he's going to walk away and console himself by feeling good about hurting Twitter as much as possible. Oh, 75% of their employees just censor Republicans.

But if I'm wrong, there will be a lot of opportunities for people to create a replacement app.

No one told me all I had to do was create another account directly from my first one. It seemed like serendipity to make that discovery. I made another account… and now I don’t really care what happens to it. Isn’t that the way? You finally get what you want…when you no longer want it.

Like Facebook, I’ve drifted away. I check in once in a while, there are some really great people on twitter if you curate your feed right.

I’m TikTok now. After the last 6 years, laughter is what I need more than anything.

Musk also changed his Twitter profile to refer to himself as “Chief Twit.”
