        “Elon musk does technology stuff, so it should go in /r/technology.”

        Sorry for haunting you with Redditisms.

    NYT should simply walk away from Xwitter. NPR did so with no apparent loss of viewership.

    NPR says they didn’t lose any traffic when they left Twitter, the Times should leave too.

      At this point, one of the things keeping Twitter alive is that 99 percent of journalists and media outlets have refused to leave, despite all the evidence that there’s nothing to be gained for them on that platform.

      It’s just their own FOMO that keeps them there.

      I’d wish they’d follow the lead of those organizations who simply left, or, better yet, started up their own Mastodon instances.

        I’m sure their social media managers are acting more on fear of losing employees than fear of missing out.

        It’s hard to argue that switching to some platform they’re not familiar with and will likely have even less of an impact still continue to justify their employment.

    My Tesla lease can’t end soon enough. I’m so fucking sick of Elon. I momentarily hoped the board would remove him…but, nope. Get fucked Elon.

      Also, did anyone forget that Elon Musk owns X? Is it really necessary to throw “Elon Musk’s” into every headline? I somehow doubt he’s sitting at some kind of master control console laughing maniacally and pulling a lever to make the verification badge go away every time the Times changes their profile picture.
