Elon Musk is moving X out of San Francisco, but city officials claim it won't have a major impact due to how much the company has shrunk.

    I’d love to see it fail completely. I’m hoping that musk makes it a site that you have to pay a subscription to see anything at all on there so everyone can finally give up on it.

      You saw the investor list, right? There’s a LOT of people on there who miiiiight not consider direct financial profitability to be the point of their investment.

        Top shareholders of Twitter include:

        1. Elon Musk (owns 78.7% of the company)
        2. Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal (5.7%)
        3. Oracle’s founder Larry Ellison (3.0%)

        WTF they really need to relocate the evil lair in a volcano

            Musk himself is a Russian connection, remember he is friendly with Putin.

        That’s true, but I’d imagine running a site like twitter actively costs money. If advertisers aren’t paying, who is? Do they go to their investors and ask for money? For how long could Elon personally afford to run Twitter with all of its development costs?

      I think it would awesome if it failed so much, Musk was forced to sell. Then, it explodes in popularity

      They’re walking right into new TX regs for social media. I’m already off the platform but any platform that stops me to upload my driver’s license then I’m done with it.
