To the editor:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but your comments on Twitter do not meet the facts. For example, all the people claiming to quit the system -- only 1.8 percent do -- the rest are only virtual signaling. Musk has only owned Twitter for about 3 months. If you know anything about large corporate businesses it is a miracle what he has done in a short amount of time.
Dealing with a very bloated staff, deleting the child porn on the platform, establishing a more balanced membership -- no longer just an-echo camber for the left. And the membership has increased by 20 percent according to Musk. Musk has also during this time released the twister files showing that the government and members of the DNC put their foot on the scale of the 2020 election by canceling and muting voices from the right -- as well as changing rules on the fly to meet their political goals.
According to Musk, his goal is to combine the function of Facebook and YouTube with Twitter. Yes, Twitter lost some advertisers after the left complained to them, but this is only a temporary problem given the growth of the platform it will be hard to keep people and advertisers away from a large platform.
Yes, 20 percent of all new business fail within the first two years, but given Musk's track record, I would not bet against him.
