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.

Yes, who cares about the truth.

"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!!!”

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.

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.

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?

Financially Musk does at least okay for himself. He is now worth over $400,000,000,000. Yet some people on here talk cheap from their 30 sqm box and think they know about money because it is only 3,000 baht a month and a short motorbike ride to 7-11.

Where and what is your source of truth? The View, cnn, msnbs, abc or AN? All the above of course and you believe every lie that they spoon feed you. 

[BangkokReady]

Word Salad Harris could have gone on Joe Rogan.  Trump didn't have any kind of monopoly there.

 

She didn't, because she knew how awful it would make her look, as she had no real policies, zero charisma, could only read from scripts prepared for her by others, and didn't stand up to any kind of scrutiny.

X is and does not claim to be a journalist news outlet. But a pea brain wouldn’t know that I guess.

Musk can afford to lose money on X, with what he has made on Tesla.

 

It's his toy to preach to the converted. As another poster has said, X lost 33% of its users.

 

How does it make him more powerful? It's the money he funneled to Trump that achieved more power.

 

You probably don't realize it, but America is heading down the same path as Russia. Rule by oligarchs. How's that going for the average Russian?
