    What Twitter shareholders? Isn't Twitter entirely owned by Musk himself? He bought out the company, and I assume that meant he now holds 100% ownership of it.

      A stakeholder is not the same thing as a shareholder. It’s also very possible that Twitter has other shareholders than Musk. Musk bought 100% of it but that doesn’t mean he didn’t resell some of it.

    People will still use Twitter, they're addicted to the drama. And as long as the site has vocal users, it'll keep chugging along.

    The only way to stop this is for people to move to other platforms, which sadly include Meta's Threads.

    Please post this as a comment in one of the existing topics about the Twitter/X change, there's no need for this to be its own topic.

    "Organically"

    I highly doubt it. I remember news stations falling over themselves trying to promote Twitter. It was extremely obvious at the time that Twitter was paying for exposure to establish itself as a breaking news source and household name. Same with celebs later on.

    Organic. Rofl.

      pyeri means that the brand itself evolved organically. And yes it is the case; originally it was twttr, the bird itself came from the community, so did the name “tweets” and the concept of retweets and so on.

      But I agree with the sentiment of “who gives a shit”. The site is dead, time to leave it.
