Fair enough. Honestly both of them are rather irrelevant to me because I don't use microblogging social media platforms, so I have no stake in the fight.

Tbh Elon buying twitter has been a fun ride so far.

As someone who never liked Facebook...not a particular fan if Zucker wins.

On one hand, competition is usually good for the end user.

On the other hand, we have such a better platform for users on the fediverse that I'm not really invested in what either of these weirdos do.

Why? I hate zuck even more. I hope they both crash & burn.

The sad existence of the Hater.

The enemy of my enemy type stuff.

Don't worry, both of them will loose.

I genuinely don't understand the elon hate. Meta is essentially US govt social media, why in the fxck would anyone use their garbage?

Because he used his money to turn a townsquare into truthsocial 2.0 and now is paying trolls to stoke division. He is not a good actor.

PS: just to be more explicit: there are amoral people who screw you over without even noticing it, that's how the game was set up, ok. But that is not what Elon is doing. This guy went out of his fucking way and took a loss to ruin a platform for everyone. Think about that. Imagine going out of your way to hurt yourself so you can hurt others more. And this guy says he wants to manage a Mars colony and lead humanity into the future. Please, Jesus, no.
