I hope he pays you for this kind of oral service.
I am just trying to explain basic economy to a bunch of angry emotional people. But you are of course free to believe that everything would be better without people like musk.
You are trying to sound superior, and it is not going well.
I’m not trying to sound superior. My knowledge about economy simply exceeds yours.
Blah balh blah. Look at what a smart person I am... (anyone that has to tell you how smart they are is not.)
I am not especially smart. I am just better educated than you ;)
Knowledge and intelligence are not the same. I am actually rather on the slow side. That’s why I need to compensate with knowledge.
Rather slow on the awareness side as well.
Honestly what you said is pure drivel.
No new products or ideas, site is less usable today, many failed implementations, powerful new competitor (no, not Lemmy), no car advertising, trump didn't even come back.
A comparison is best suited for this discussion.
Back a few years ago, PayPal started big. It was new, it became big.
And now there are new competitors like Klarna.
And yes, this new competition might have cost PayPal a few costumers. But it was not the end of PayPal, as many have predicted.
And same goes for twitter. There is no meantionable decrease in user numbers.
Only the number of ported instagram accounts to threads was discussed as the big change.
No big Migration means that most still runs smoothly. No press article can change that.
And that trump didn’t come back is probably as simple as to why he became a candidate for presidency. His ego was hurt. And he thinks of himself as a man of principles. And maybe he created an echo chamber of his supporters.

You are repeating yourself.
