What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? A fired Trump White House staffer offers a tantalizing clue
A year after the world's richest man acquired the social media platform, a game plan published by a fired Trump White House staffer provides a clue.
The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”
I could live my whole life never hearing "news" about twitter, musk, etc ever again.
It seems to be a fediverse problem. The user base is small and the ones that post things post a lot about other social media platforms and by extension musk.
Start posting stuff that you would like to see and stop commenting on these. The trend is that musk articles get many times more engagement than other types of posts.
I'm honestly less concerned about it showing up here, and more concerned that the news sites can't let this non-news drama go. There's important stories happening every day, but no, NBC needs to drop another story about a failing tech company and ignore the larger issues.
Also more or less the spez strategy.
It's important to remember that the far-right does strategize like this, like an abusive partner planning revenge on an ex.
Do you know what the most common topic of discussion is in neo-nazi chat rooms? It's not how much they hate minorities, it's how to get other people to hate minorities just as much as they do.
Unsurprisingly, popular techniques include memes, pretending to be moderates or "leftists", blaming progressives for people becoming neo-nazis, signal boosting content that reflects badly on "undesirables" and of course their current favourite, pretending those undesirables are sexual predators or support sexual predators.
little more than validation of the obvious at this point. who cares, move on
Duh
