Hey everybody,
Due to the bombardment of Elon Musk content, the mods have decided to make a pinned mega thread. Please post all of your Elon Musk related news, gossip, technology and articles here.
We know many of you are deeply interested in Elon Must, but we need to allow space for other technology content as well.
As always, be excellent to each other.
Yours truly, moderators.
Does anyone else genuinely think Twitter/X will die anytime soon with the latest changes Elmo is making?
Social networks rarely “die”. They simply become irrelevant. MySpace still exists.
Platforms rarely completely die, as in they shut down, they just become irrelevant. Digg still around despite being long supplanted by Reddit, MySpace still exists after everyone went to Facebook, but nobody cares about them anymore.
Twitter/X will end up the same, unless some real catastrophic happens financially or legally.
It’s the 5th most hit site globally, it’s going nowhere.

The question is, will it remain that way in the coming years?
MSN messenger was at one point the world’s most used communicator app too.
Why would anybody think like it’ll die soon?
Because of how Elmo is running Twitter/X
I still think it’ll take 3-5 years before it “dies”
Will Threads ever come popular?
I never had account in Twitter, but for me it looks like it’s become a honeypot for right-wing useful idiots. And it has gained a lots of attraction simply because the censorship was ended in just one night.
depends on your definition of “die”. it is not going to go offline, but it will certainly cease to be of any moderate utility to most people and will cease to have any meaningful cultural impact within a couple of years at this rate
Yeah, even if it costs money to maintain, Elon will hang onto it. It’s useful to him.
