| > I wouldn't bet on Musk, but I DEFINITELY wouldn't bet against him. Anyone betting against him over the last 10 years has been viciously smoked (many short-selling hedge funds got wiped out completely). In terms of the stock market, definitely. Honestly though, all those people who said self-driving wouldn't be solved by now, that Tesla didn't have a great moat and that the Boring Company was profoundly stupid were in fact correct. |

| Yup, more activity... Elon never solved the bot problem like he promised, and it's far worse now. |

| ▲ | 6510 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I looked the other day, the feed got the same 4 postings reposted 3-5 times. A dozen posts talking about people getting banned, doxed and fired for talking about you know what. I found 1-2 sort of interesting posts but not interesting enough to make it worth it. It was fun for a while blogging with grok back when it was free. Kind of interesting that engagement is zero on all of my postings. Not that I care for it but it shows quality isn't measured by users. The system prefer people read about users getting banned and that same video again and again. lol With rss I just sort by date and eliminate duplicates. Not very hard and dramatically more interesting. |

| > Many made the same prediction about Twitter, and it seems to be more or less the same or higher activity than before Where are you getting that? There's not a single piece of data out there that will tell you Twitter has increased in users. Not only have they visibly dropped in users, but it's becoming increasingly clear the site is Astroturfed with bots. The choice is not Twitter or Bluesky. Most people moved on to TikTok. I don't know a single person who uses Twitter. |

| > daily mobile users down 15% year-over-year So just to be clear, down 15% YoY is not "more or less the same or higher activity" the platform is overwhelmingly bots, so those "users" are likely in a server farm somewhere https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/10/as-x-loses-its-ceo-daily-u... Also, they reported a 60% drop in advertising revenue from 2021-2026... yikes |
