Re: Sorry Elon, but what's the point ?

There is already a flow of people leaving Twitter to decentralised alternatives since the Musk news came out.

If Musk were to buy Twitter, open it up to Trump, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers and various terrorist groups, you can bet that many other people would leave too. And, more importantly, I suspect many official users would leave the platform too. Would governments or heads of state of countries in the developed world still want to have an account on Twitter? Would big brands still want to have a presence on Twitter if he would turn it (further) into a cess pit? Right now they are essentially providing free advertising for Twitter every time they say "Follow us on Twitter for updates on roadworks in your area".
