Comment on Elon Musk’s X Has Started Selling Off Old Twitter Handles For $50,000
BossDj@lemm.ee 1 year agoI thought all the attention Trump was getting in the news in 2016 would tank him because he always said and did the STUPIDEST shit. It’s hard not to think that exposing as many people as possible to how awful these toxic, narcissistic guys are would make people see the light and help end their crap. But for some reason it doesn’t. Does ignoring it help? I have no idea. Too dumbfounded still to this day.

Negative press should be promoted. Everything else should be downvoted. This article isn’t negative, but rather a desperate attempt to stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

I guess I read this as bad press!

I’m curious why you read it that way? This is Elon Musk’s company putting out a PR release for their latest strategy to make money (and make the news). This is Twitter desperately trying to stay relevant. Sharing this information (and rage bait practice of selling old twitter handles) only serves to give free advertising to Twitter.

Just like you said, the desperation. The act is laughable. But I guess you’re right, I’d rather nobody knew about it and it failed miserably instead

So you think Musk ordering Twitter to engage in legal identity theft and selling user accounts like a hacker would is somehow a good look?
