The Twitter Massacre
Moon of Alabama | I am amusing myself with watching the panic some people express over Elon Musk's cleanup of Twitter. Yesterday 3,700 of its 7,500 workers were fired. That is not good, but the company was losing money and making money is at the core of the capitalist game. [...] Twitter had become a 'woke' company that was mostly in the hands of the Democratic Party. By being 'woke' and by supporting 'regime change' efforts Twitter killed its own access to at least half of its potential market. It Musk manages to make it a more neutral service, nationally and internationally, while keeping its original function alive, I am all for it. Unfortunately that is unlikely to happen.
