There was a time that I used Twitter. Then, it became difficult to see what awesomely unpleasant statements were made by so many. I found it difficult to be associated with it. I gave it up.
To watch the news flowing out of Musk’s buying Twitter is both interesting and questionably stupid. No matter how rich one may be, purchasing an internet company at such an awesome amount of money that is designed to communicate brief statements seems incredible. I can somewhat understand that he wants to liberalize the platform. His intent to broaden the mainstream rather than having essentially two venues, Liberals vs Conservatives, makes sense. However to purchase the company at such at awesome price seems ridiculous, even if it is pennies for him.
The column in today’s Washington Post supports my view.
