That When Feeling by Nikhil Taneja: Why can’t we quit Twitter!

It’s been a month since Twitter was taken over by edgy comedian Elon Musk, and his erratic, clueless, feckless and random acts of faux leadership have left the platform a little worse every day. In firing, first all at once, and then, like a weekly reminder of the existence of evil, slowly and steadily, team by team, he’s left Twitter with only about one-third of the employees it had a month ago.

Musk has also gone back on his word of how he will lead the platform’s changes, from once promising to constitute a safety committee that will take thoughtful calls on who to ban or unban from the app, to now literally doing a Twitter poll (that’s known to be easily manipulated by bots), in deciding whether the OG crackpot Donald Trump, should be back. And then, of course, he’s reinstated him, with the excuse, ‘Vox Populi Vox Dei,’ that translates to ‘voice of the people is voice of the god’, except in his fiefdom, the people are bots, and he is their god.
