In a few more months, it will turn into world's most serious scientist's exchange, and next year (if it's still not dead) it's going to evolve further into a platform for testing and comparing children's games of different cultures and hair colors.

I'm still not convinced this wasn't just an effort by Saudi Arabia to dismantle the platform.

A few months back and he was driving his employees to produce banking apps and god knows what else. I wonder what they think of their mercurial asshole boss who'll demand everything all at once.
X, the platform formerly known as twitter, is now dealing in sour grapes.
Something that I feel needs to be reiterated with all of these "news" pieces - the "71% drop" everyone is touting is from the stupidly high price Musk bought Twitter for that only ever represented his desire to flex, not the value held by the site itself. Even Musk knew it wasn't worth that much and tried desperately to get out of the deal himself.
Twitter was trading around $40 at the time he made the offer for $54 per share. At the current value, that equals $15 per share. The last time Twitter was trading at that value was 2017.
These are all rough numbers based on some graphs I looked over quickly.
If you want to play devils advocate on this topic you should understand what you're talking about.

It's not a video service, it's a pile of poo.
There sure is a lots of video with young looking girls on there, but I'm not sure why anyone would be advertising that.

Twitter can show videos?
This might work but on the other hand, the brand name "X" doesn't have a nice ring for the younger generation unlike TikTok or even Vine. "X" is so.... Gen X...(sorry, boomer for the young 'uns for everything before 2010).
Gen X is not boomers. Gen X is the “lost generation” which is ironic considering the context here. They were between boomers and millennials, and are typically the parents of millennials and some gen z.

Elon, put down the crack pipe.
And yet, how often does Elon create and post videos?
I'm looking forward to all the selfie videos with Elon sitting on the toilet accusing his advertisers of being pedos. Then we can sit and guess what specific drugs he's on that particular day.

Honestly if Elon The Musky Husky wanted to rebrand twitter as a competitor to Youtube, there's a 10% chance I might start using the platform, which is 10% more than usual.
