Zuck loves Trump

Zuck: On a personal note, seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life. And I think, look: On some level as an American, it's, like, hard to not get kind of emotional about that spirit and that fight, and I think that that's why a lot of people like the guy.

Is Threads next to see a major exodus (for the same reasons)?

we left X because it’s a far-right sh*tshow led by Musk the Orangeman worshiper… and we will leave you for the same damn reason. Silly boy.

As a reminder, spineless CEOs and founders aren't against Trump. They're not pro-Trump either, they're pro-money. Right now that means sucking up to Trump.

Facebook's ('Meta') Threads already (apparently) has more active users than Twitter. X (Twitter) is basically dying. X is mostly trash and it is apparently reduced to fake content designed to prop up Elon Musk's agenda and fabricate "engagement". Twitter/X seems to have become TikTok as the timelines that we saw are majority "videos"/shorts... i.e. entertainment clickbait, no substance to be found.

Twitter video

Twitter timelines are now video after video...

Musk has managed to alienate companies, major brands, users, non-Trumpists (which is like 90% of the world, Twitter wasn't just US)... now he's rebranding everything as he tries a TikTok copycat. It'll get shut down in a few years, as this operation only generates losses and was a one-time "monetisation" platform for electing a man to bail out Tesla, SpaceX etc.

Musk will probably trash his other companies too. But he can use Trump to rob taxpayers... subsidies and contracts for failing companies - all this in exchange for rigging elections... even outside South Africa.

Isn't it funny that an illegal immigrant helped appoint Trump and an illegal immigrant now tells Trump what to do? South Africa, as part of BRICS, is an ally of Russia and actively works to distract from genocide by Vladimir Putin.
