If you think that the recent headlines surrounding Musk’s acquisition of Twitter bode well, you are more of an optimist than I am.
I see that half their advertisers fled, and Musk had decimated the company in headcount and human brainpower. It cannot be a happy place to work, and we all know what that means to productivity and profitability.
Landlords who once reveled in renting space to them, worldwide, are sucking wind and finding the bird is flying the coop.
So will you continue to tweet?
Will you frequent the platform to read your followers’ best short form messages?
Will you continue to simulcast your LinkedIn posts and newsletter articles to Twitter?
I am asking for your comments. Not a like, or clapping hands, but real words, phrases, sentences.
Will you please prognosticate your foresight about Twitter?
I decided I am departing Twitter once they make me pay for two-factor verification later this month. Not right IMHO. Protects them and me.
Enough.
I can no longer remain a twit. What about you?

I absolutely agree and will not pay for Twitter, Marc. And I hope that no one else decides to pay as well!
I ‘fled the bird’ a couple of months before Musk took over. I’d like to say it was a prescient move but it was just dumb luck. I was also never too enamored with Twitter in the first place, so leaving it was no big deal.
A $44 billion boondoggle is what I see and I believe the world would be a better place without it.
