Twitter Accepts Musk's Bid

I couldn’t care less. I never signed up for Twitter. I don’t know how to sign up, how to use it. I don’t care if Elon Musk now monetizes Twitter with ads, extra charges for services, etc. I am trying to stay away from social media. As it is, Farcebook is sending me friend requests from friends of friends of friends…..ad infinitum. I don’t know many of these people and I don’t need them as my friends. My life is complete without them. It cannot be more complete with their addition; more complex maybe, but certainly not more complete. God only knows how many FBI or CIA files I am on because of these interconnected spider webs of people who have tenuous if not non-existent connection with me. I really hope someone nukes the data centers of Twitter, Farcebook, Google, Amazon and anybody else who collects data on unsuspecting people.

It will make zero difference to my life. I'm not on Twitter, FB or any other social media platform. I value my privacy. And my only interest in Musk, is wondering how such a complete duck got to be so rich! :confused:

And what's that? Yeah I know I could google it, but as I don't care a heck about twitter, I haven't documented me yet in the topic (and I don't think I will)

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

What is twitter?

Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth. To err is human, to arr is pirate.

Maybe. Just don't forget various (extreme) "left" and "right" wing movements (like BLM and LGBTQ+), companies, and politicians are fueled by big tech and social media, and they do make a difference to our lives (and usually not for the better) :~

Why did he pay so much for it? Doesn't he know you can download the app for free.

He says he "wants to turn it into a platform for free speech". Maybe he should have bought Telegram :-D Paul Sanders http://www.alpinesoft.co.uk

Cool, so next Tesla update will put twitter on the cars. Great.

I would strongly suggest that you remove the link to your company from your signature before someone decides you are just a spammer and your account closes ...

CP can do what they like, I don't care. And I'm no spammer, thank you very much. I've been on here for several years and I don't need the likes of you to tell me what to do. You might not be aware of me because I'm not usually active in the lounge, but that's your problem, not mine. I've even contributed a couple of articles, if you had taken the trouble to look, although I'm not particularly proud of EZUTF. My coding skills have improved significantly since then.

And so you do.
