    it was unprofitable but sustainable. it had brand equity, tons of talent, etc.


    elon bought it for 44bn and has managed to slash approximately 40bn of value off it and counting. its currently regarded as a platform rebuilt from the ground up for election interference and agitprop. when you understand the behavior thats put tiktok in the crosshairs of gov regulators, its not difficult to predict whats in store for twitter.

    Well to be fair it wasn't re-built for election interference, that was done before he purchased it.

    Most media companies are designed to cater to the specific brand of ideology they are targeting for ad revenue or their leaders' personal beliefs.

    Tik Tok is in the crosshairs for their massive amount of data collection on American citizens and subsequent transfer of that data to the Chinese. Tik Tok is awesome btw.

    thats part of it but the thing that really got the ball rolling is how their algs bombard americans with patently anti-social / anti-family / so on material while the feeds curated for chinese citizens are like, incredibly wholesome.


    basically they are very deliberately mind rotting american children and using the most sophisticated nation-state caliber tools available to do it.


    that said there are some critically hilarious tiktok feeds that i fw but whatever.

    Implementing Environmental Remediation under the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. I’m rummaging around this space for a home run sprinkle

    Tactical nuke remediation will be a cost no object jackpot

    Remember Red Adair putting out the well head fires after the Iraqi army retreated from Kuwait during the Persian Gulf war in 1991?

    AMZN was 191 yesterday maorning and is 166. They doing capex for data centers that is half of Swedens GDP. Amazon was always u afraid to fuck with earnings and invest. I was alive when they traded $5 and we said “what the fuck are they doing?”

    With AI companies like Google and AMZN gonna rule the world. Politically that will bring weirdness I can’t really process but facts
