META’s stocks have plunged and so has Zuckerberg’s net worth. That’s what you get for going woke, fixing presidential elections and cosying up to Biden’s FBI and CIA thugs in order to stifle and violate American citizens’ First Amendment rights. Twatter executives are also not happy bunnies. Elon Musk has completed his purchase of the Blue Bird platform and promptly fired Vijaya Gadde, who got US President Donald Trump permanently suspended. Other woke, censorious top executives have also been given their marching orders. What I want to know is, when is he going to fire the obnoxious, power-crazed, wokeling, purple-haired keyboard warrior who got me permanently suspended? I would have thought this would have also been one of his top priorities!
Trump is not going back onto Twitter. I think this is a wise decision. He's sticking with Truth Social, his main media platform. He stated in April he would not return, after the news of the Musk buyout. This is what he says now:
"I am very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands, and will no longer be run by Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs that truly hate our country," Trump Truthed. "Twitter must now work hard to rid itself of all of the bots and fake accounts that have hurt it so badly. It will be much smaller, but better."
Trump is very aware of the fact that if he is lured back to Twitter, the boost to Musk's newly acquired platform will be very considerable, whereas he may damage his own platform, Truth Social. So naturally, he will now stick with his own social media platform, which he says is outperforming many others, claiming also that Twitter will be considerably diminished when the bots are cleaned out.
But the really big news of the day is that I am not tempted to go back, even if I get an email inviting me to have my banned account reinstated. You heard it here first (and last, and only)!
I remember the buzz back in May 2012, in the office during Facebook's IPO. Started at $38 per share, and fell the very next day. It kept falling until late summer to around $20.
In retrospect, I had the insight that sooner or later even Hungarian babushkas will swipe their spare time away on this platform, so it's a no brainer to buy, we're early. I didn't buy.
In 2021 it peaked at close to $400. Now it's around $100.
Twitter question: Would it be reasonable for Twitter to have two classes of users:
#1 ID-verified users who are definitely not trolls. AKA Blue Checks.
#2 Anonymous users, who may, or may not, be trolls.
Users then have the choice to either SHOW ALL or only SHOW VERIFIED. SHOW ALL must be the default.
I ask because I guess that's where Musk will go.

I wouldn't discount old Zuck so swiftly.
