At least in terms of his “Twitter is an accelerant to fulfilling the original X.com vision” comment. Yeah, he definitely has outright said that he wants it to be an everything app. Like you said, that is hard or impossible to do in the US. Just look at how often Microsoft or even Google have failed when launching new products/services. Remember Google Plus? It's very hard to break into a new market.

Honestly I wonder if Google would consider trying to bring back Plus and/or Buzz now that Twitter is looking shaky and a lot of people don’t like Facebook. But I’m not sure they would even want to be responsible for monitoring their own social media site anymore.

Yeah, I think they or even Facebook could put out a Twitter copy easily but I think you’re right that they have no interest. Twitters revenue is insignificant them and the headaches with running it are obviously massive. It’s not worth it unless you have some other motivation, like Elon’s ideological reasons.

Starkiller Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/13/technology/elon-musk-twitter-shakeup.html Mr. Musk appears to be gearing up for legal battles at Twitter, which he purchased in October for $44 billion, according to seven people familiar with internal conversations. He and his team have revamped Twitter’s legal department and pushed out one of his closest advisers in the process. They have also instructed employees to not pay vendors in anticipation of potential litigation, the people said. To cut costs, Twitter has not paid rent for its San Francisco headquarters or any of its global offices for weeks, three people close to the company said. Twitter has also refused to pay a $197,725 bill for private charter flights made the week of Mr. Musk’s takeover, according to a copy of a lawsuit filed in New Hampshire District Court and obtained by The New York Times. Twitter’s leaders have also discussed the consequences of denying severance payments to thousands of people who have been laid off since the takeover, two people familiar with the talks said. And Mr. Musk has threatened employees with lawsuits if they talk to the media and “act in a manner contrary to the company’s interest,” according to an internal email sent last Friday.

The account, @ElonJet, was run by Florida college student Jack Sweeney and had amassed more than half a million followers. It tracked Musk’s plane’s location using publicly available flight data and appears to have been suspended Wednesday morning. “Well it appears @ElonJet is suspended,” Sweeney tweeted Wednesday. He encouraged users to follow him on other platforms. Sweeney said in a tweet Wednesday afternoon that his account dedicated to tracking employee jets at Musk’s company SpaceX was also suspended. Shortly afterward, his personal account was suspended. Edited December 15, 2022 by Starkiller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this whole shit show is just another episode of: But I'd be a little pissed at people doxxing me too, and I'm just a random nobody with dust in my pockets. So there is that.

Jamalisms Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/twitter-suspends-mastodons-account-making-004734530.html "As of 6:30 PM PT, many links to Mastodon no longer work on Twitter, which flags them as "potentially harmful." Tweeted links to some servers without Mastodon's name in the domain still appeared to work in our testing. Banned domains include mstdn.social and mastodon.social, while links to journa.host and others still work. Many Twitter users added a Mastodon profile link into their bios as the Twitter alternative picked up steam. Now, any links to blocked Mastodon servers are disabled and accompanied by the text "Warning: this link may be unsafe." As of 8PM PT, Twitter has blocked links to more Mastodon servers that don't reference the service in the domain name, including journa.host and SciComm.xyz."
