X is the King of the Media World.

[theblether]

X ( Twitter) is destroying the main stream media. The user numbers are astronomical and the level of high quality information is incredible. Without X Trump wouldn't have won as X has strangled many fake media stories at birth. 

 

Community Notes are the best moderation tool on the Internet. The commentary is often hilarious 😂. 

 

The strange thing is the political balance. 48% Democrat, 47% Republican. Places like BLUESKY are Democrat dominated. You don't learn anything by not listening to the other side. 

 

Van Jones explains why Democrats need to get off the "Trump is an idiot" train and the importance of the new media here.

Try telling that to some of the posters here , especially in the Ukraine thread.

"X" most certainly does not care about the truth, just power, influence and money!

Sure feels that way.

Mainstream media: “we have no idea why are numbers are down and we are going out of business!!!”

Also mainstream media:

As I am not on Facebook and don't read X, I don't care.

 

Wasn't Musk threatening to sue advertisers for pulling their ads from X? IIRC correctly it's only valued at half what he paid for it.

 

Trump is not an idiot when it comes to conning people, that's as far as it goes.

The man who came back & won a historic election & a man  who purchased the Progressives Twitter platform both helped in defeating  4 more years of Democrats and their Woke mind virus , as Musk likes to call it! !

X has lost money in most years of its existence. Musk of course knew that. Maybe, like most leftists, you've missed something.

 

X Could Prove to Be Worth More Than $44B to Musk and His Companies

 

But a turnaround seems nigh.

 

A Fidelity Investments mutual fund increased the value of its equity stake in Elon Musk's X by more than 32% in October, its largest monthly increase since making the investment in late 2022.

WOT???

Oh, did Trump own shares in X or something? And you know that Trump conned Musk into buying X but Musk himself still doesn't know? What a naive fool, Musk, compared to yourself. 🤣

 

 

I love this forum.

My question is when will Elon be able to state that he has made money from his purchase....?

His motivation was clearly not financial. He was annoyed at social media nor allowing conservatives to speak and noted how insane it was that all these nonsensical lefty narratives couldnt be challenged by fact.

Id say he v much got his monies worth😆

My only thought was that I hope he makes money from his purchase.

And, I am just curious as to when this could happen.....

Soon, or later?

Calm down dear, calm down.

 

X is only the 13th most popular social media platform worldwide and the  user count has declined by 33 million since January 2024.

Good riddance no matter how much you hate journalists you don't hate them enough. Truly the enemy of the American people.

It always amazes when people are to daft to know the true value of X. Sure if a guy like you buys it, it is worth half or much less than the purchase price. When somebody like Musk buys it, it is priceless. He plays on a whole different level. Can you tell me when your last purchase made you the most powerful; private citizen in the world?

It was never about the financials.....always about power and influence.
