so many refuse to believe has faults

Maybe it's because I don't use Twitter but I haven't actually seen any of this in years. Every single mention of Elon Musk I see is negative. From my perspective, Twitter was trash long before he bought it, even if he's made it worse and keeps twisting the knife. All this complaining seems like a deflection by people who are addicted and need to keep rationalizing their continued use of the platform despite it being increasingly intolerable to them.

I could never hear the name Elon for the rest of my life and I would survive just fine. Just remember, soon the internet will mention nobody but Trump as well. I hate it

My dad is unfortunately one of those who don't believe he has faults, and as far as I can tell he doesn't even spend much time in 𝕏itter, so yes, plenty still believe he's infallible, and not just those who spend to much time on his fansite

I mean he still has a dedicated ~~cult~~ fanbase.

And the site was okay before, I honestly think that people hate on twitter the way other people hated on reddit for years (before it went to shit).

Musk's changes made the site unusable, it made me leave the site permanently, even though I don't have a replacement site to follow the artists I like (except pixiv, but that site sucks to use in Europe)

I can’t speak for your experiences or for the stats on muskies so I can’t draw anything officially meaningful, but from my experience in my network of friends there are certain groups (mostly business-centric males) who still think he’s a champion of free speech somehow.

I definitely think it’s starting to unravel a bit but there is definitely still plenty of people out there.

Like I say, people are always gonna bitch about stuff and people they don’t like because it’s easier to vent about that than to vent about our other frustrations which are simply put just way more complicated than continuing to say “bad man bad” (not to be confused as sarcasm, I simply chose to simplify this phrase for simplicity sake)
