I'unno, from what I've seen their latest chops was some kind of streaming service they've managed to lead to what's approaching billion dollar losses. Investors have brains like goldfish with head injuries, though, so who knows.

I was just about to ask how that Tucker guy was supposed to relaunch his show on a 140 character format, but I'm guessing this is how

Fuck yes I can see it now, E-E-E  X (ksssss) the everything app!

Watch fallen legacy media conservative icons, can we get Bill O Reilley? Ney, can we dig Rush Limbaugh out of the grave?!

Then you get to really express yourself within 140 characters, youtube superchat is shitting it's pants allready.

Then your twitter behaviour can be linked to your watching behaviour to better target you with ads, political ads by preference.

Gradually legacy media will realise how much more convenient this is to them.

Then they can all go back to being one big disgusting abusive family. Since nobody needs to be tarnished by the other, it's all just free speech and as they collectively wiggle out of publisher duties.

Then they slap a facebook light on there so the mobile games that only proliferate through ads can happen on the same site, conveniently relieving you of money.



It will be peak internet.

What's that a super app you say, are you sure you don't mean a super waste of time?

Given USA political polarized environment, as exemplified by the circle jerk here I actually think it has better chance to succeed.

What does any of this have to do with US politics anyway, I'm just here to say I hate twitter and all other social media shit.

Welcome to School, where we're gonna School you on US politics and twitter. Don't worry, we locked the doors, there is no escape, you WILL learn...

1) US President Biden and the Democrats announce a policy of banning petroleum products for fueling cars and homes
2) The Saudi Arabian Princes, who own Saudi Arabia, then funded Twitter's acquisition by Elon Musk. Saudi Arabia, if you do not know, has only ever made money selling petroleum products.

Twitter is thus one of the tools being used to reverse US policy of ending dependence on petroleum products.

Because USA politics is what fuels this thread. Otherwise a Super-app isn't necessarily just for social media. I can think of several way in which such an app can be used. And between Twitters already big user base, Musk investing non-woke AI alternative to OpenAI, options for integration in Teslas etc products, this streaming deal by Tucker Carlson (that just mind boggling lucky), and Musk out the way. I suspect that there is a good chance to make successful product.

Well, they've finally got around to the 200 IQ move of getting Musk out of the daily operations, so it at least has a fighting chance...

That was his plan all along. He always was more of the idea person, every one of his companies had someone else in charge, even in SpaceX though he is the face of it the person responsible for the daily operation is Shotwell.

He's not the idea person for crying out loud. Every one of his companies was someone else's idea.  He's the guy who provides venture capital. At most he also used to be a PR guy for seeking more investors. I guess he still kind of is, at that, but he has lost a lot of brownie points with his antics from the last ~5+ years
