  1. Lmfao for years the narrators of “disinformation” told them to get their own platform. Now Elon owns the platform and lays off the disinformation warriors and liberals melt down mentally. This is so funny to watch you can’t make this stuff up.

  2. MUSK will push it till the FED STEPS IN and then SUE for LOSES due to Governmental intrusion…GREAT PLAN ..

  3. "just go start your own platform"
    free speech is back and the libbabies are in full meltdown
    next up Trump2024

  4. People should not have been relying about these social media outlets for their information to begin with. They act as if no one could use their own heads to make decisions, Will i guyess thats exactly what has happened. People too stupid to make decisions base upon their own intellect. SO GOOD!!!! your forced to use your head and make honest decisions. to judge by your intellect not by some fake social site. People did exist before the twitters and facebooks of the world. freaking stupid people. its now on YOU.

  5. As if these companies give their employees heads up for being fired anyways.

  6. here we go again musk me me me me me me me me me me me

  7. No idea what Twitter is but Musk is an unbearably vapid buffoone

  8. Just send the operation to Mexico and other overseas locations like India and Philippines, the boomers will NEVER understand them on the phone…

  9. DO NOT USE TWITTER!!! This guy's pocket is lined with Government Funds!! He says he may allow more free speech, but I'm guessing he's already 'cut a deal' with several government agencies to allow them backdoor access to all of your Photo's, Messages, Conversation, Advertisement, etc. etc..I WOULDN'T TRUST THIS GUY AT ALL!!!

  10. The building stunk. Bunch of spoiled stuff in there. Like cleaning the fridge. You gotta throw crap out.

  11. They told laid off coal miners to “learn to code”. Well, these laid off Twits can learn to mine coal!

  12. Remember when all the Lefty's we're saying "it's a private company, we can limit certain types of speech if we want to…" Well, this is what the flip side looks like.

  13. Musk bit off much more than he can chew

  14. I kind of wish he bought it to shut it down because the media is obsessed with it and it doesn’t reflect real views. I think CNN cummed all over themselves when it started up. It’s a useless site with minimal US users other than famous people

  15. GJ Elon, really moving twitter in the right direction…down the toilet. And good riddance.

  16. No pun intended, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Elon Musk is just another Extremist Republican, who has Trump's "doctrine" in his back pocket.

  17. Maybe these people can set up a competing company and drive twitter out of the market.

  18. They have severance pay of 3 months😂😂😂😂😂😂

  19. Crazy all the complaining people get laid off all the time alot of emotions but no real substance
    Give Musk a least a minute reorganizing a crap company he spent 40 billion dollars to buy

  20. Twitter is no longer part of my life. good riddance. It was easy to quit facebook, and it was easy to quit twitter.

  21. im very very happy that we will have 'misinformation' back. thank god for free speech!!!!
