His tweets probably ended up next to some ads. Look at how many likes the guy gets on those tweets, that platform is a total shithole of radicals.

Netanyahu is such a corrupt prick. The Israelis are sadly as dysfunctional as we are (unsurprisingly we helped export it as well as their homegrown extremism).Musk and Netanyahu blame antisemitism on the platform formerly known as Twitter mainly on bots. Yeah, sure...

I can only read the title and the beginning blurb:

Sounds serious though. If it comes to something probably would warrant its own thread.

It's become the most siloed off right-wing haven of misinformation on the planet. All it took was a bond villain with billions of dollars.Elon Musk Disables Option to Report Misinformation On X/Twitter

I just can’t believe enough people won’t quit Twitter in order to kill it. My wife (who will not quit) simply insists that everyone who matters to her is still on it, with a hold-the-ground type of mindset. To me, chucking Musk is the priority. The way to do that is to devalue Twitter to zero-point-zero dollars. Even if he doesn’t give up the Twitter brand name, everyone could finally move on to ANYTHING else. They’re treating it like it’s a valuable piece of land. It’s not, I’m sure of this. Musk’s ownership has made it forever toxic. Burn it down, start over.

I think it will take an exodus by these people before it will make any impact. Many of the regular users have left but celebrities, media, and influential people refuse to to do so.
Look at Stephen King and LeBron James, they refused to pay for the checkmark and Elon forced on them, they were like "oh okay then" with zero pushback (or backbone).
The other thing is while Threads was pretty exciting at first they appear to be failing as viable alternative, they still have not incorporated many of the features, such as hash tags, DM's, etc. and it's costing them.

I had a hard time quitting it. I used it mostly to get information from some of my personal and business vendors latest information. However I found myself finding more and more of the extremist crap on my feed. It became like an abusive relationship, where I saw the good in them for brief moments between the awful ones. It took two tries to finally end the relationship.
I actually started it again, when we were flying out into Hurricane Hillary from Boston to Las Vegas. What I found is that I couldn't trust the information that was being reported, because I no longer trusted X for correct information. I found out that my suspicions where right, more than half the information was either old clips of Vegas flooding or just made up lies. So I have left the platform again... And this time I mean it.

If I can do it, you can too.
As soon as it was confirmed that Elon took over...

No. Trademark serial number 77721751 has not been abandoned. And twitter.com still redirects, meaning it is still used in commerce, so even if they did abandon the federal trademark they would presumably still have state law rights under state trademark and unfair competition laws.
