Probably a dumb question, but does Twitter actually have any sort of holdings in the EU? Curious how the EU laws would be applicable to a US company without holdings, and it seems odd to me that an online based company would need any holdings in the EU.
Same but doesn’t feel that great when I still have an average of 5 Musk tweets per DAY in my fucking Reddit feed and on the front page. I don’t really have any respect left for people using Twitter and complaining.
I made one about 8 years ago for the sole purpose of asking my local ISP a question. A year later I logged in for another random need, and my account had been compromised by a bot apparently. The display pic was a scantily dressed female and it was spamming bot messages all day. I self reported my account, and they deleted the account and banned my IP address so i can't even make a new account if I wanted lol.
Man I thought Cory booker was a rising star. Then he goes out of his way to write a goddamn letter for Elizabeth Holmes and fucks up his whole reputation. (For me anyway)
I'm from NJ and it disappointed me to see his name as one of the politicians who called for leniency for the sentence of Theranos fraudster Holmes. that and accepting so much from pharma for his campaigns. he's far from the worst politicians, but he's not that guardian angel most people paints him to be.
I deactivated my account when he started firing everyone, and I was glad I did when I saw his Hardcore ultimatum. He’s a real shit head and it’s not difficult to avoid supporting any of his ventures.
Agreed. And for that, I won’t support a single one of his ventures ever again. EDIT: I never have supported any of his businesses so gold star and a cookie for me 👏
Why did I have to scroll this far down to find out it’s fake? Are we not better than them when we’re upvoting bullshit like this? 2/3rd of those who see this post are going to take it as fact and there’s nothing we can do about it except hope the mods do something. Hey OP, Screw you if you’re reading this.
Ngl, I genuinely didn't notice the satire/fake tag and believed it. After the things he has actually said and done, this one didn't feel fake at all. And the blue check mark means official right?..right?
I understand why it is so hard to believe that he's just so bad at running things and so he must be doing it on purpose, but that's not it. He's just bad at this, and fell down the right-wing rabbit hole and believes falsehoods about how to fix things.
If he can tank twitter hard enough, he can declare it bankrupt, and presumably write off the debt he amassed in order to acquire the platform. That’s my vague theory anyhow
I honestly can't tell if any this shit is real anymore.. Are we seriously all collectively watching as the richest man who ever lived throws a temper tantrum? What the actual fuck!?
We’ll this post was faked so there’s that. Not that it matters, countless people have treated it like it’s real. The flair doesn’t make a difference either
Even if this tweet turns out to be fake, the dude still has no fucking clue how markets work. Twitter needs the users more than the users need Twitter. It's not like he's selling baby formula or home heating oil.
May I ask what “started the process” means? When I see people say that I just assume it’s lip service and they haven’t actually done anything and probably won’t.
Had to scroll too far to see this because I'm gullible as hell and I'd assume that the majority of people that saw this post assumed that that tweet was real because you never know with Elon these days
Any political cause (for example: "hate Musk") does NOT do itself any favors, by posting childish confusing fakes and similar worthless time wasting material.
“I never had a twitter therefore it is irrelevant” very cool my man. twitter was an excellent source of info. lots of journos, politicans, comedians, scientists, etc. posting daily stuff you couldn’t find in an article anywhere. it was like a giant community blog and despite all its shortcomings will (and should) be missed.
You know what? Now I want him to fail. It wasn’t even about that before. I honestly thought “hey he came on a little strong but maybe he will get it together?”. No. Keep doing you Elon. We’re all babies, and you’re about to lose 44 billion dollars because you don’t understand the First Amendment.
So annoying. Communities were built in Twitter and then this asshole comes along and just melts it down. I can't even tell if this is fake considering the real tweets I've seen from him. He's one of those things that's ruined the uncanny divide for me.
As much as I hate Elon Musk and Donald Trump, he’s right that most of the people who say they’re going to leave Twitter are not going to leave Twitter.
Tried getting banned by Elon but it didn’t work… deactivated my account deleted the app. Won’t be returning. Really wanted to go out in a blaze but whatever. Can’t stand this prick anymore.
Really sad seeing so many people treat this as real even though the post is under satire. This literally puts so much wind in the sails of his fans. So many people patting themselves on their back for deleting Twitter (good move) over this actually fake tweet 😂😂😂😂😂
I moved all my art shit to Tumblr and Itaku, and I've been using Reddit for social media since 2021, so I mean, I really don't need Twitter. Can probably just delete the app at this point.
It's too bad the "Satire/Fake Tweet" flair doesn't appear with the post in the feed, because I imagine many people won't realize this is fake, despite being plausible.
Either this Tweet has been deleted or it's fake because he doesn't have anything like that on his profile. You guys are totally obsessed with Musk. Simply, if you don't like the way Twitter is doing, delete it and don't use it.
This post is everything you ever need to know about people on reddit, lol. They're so trained hy mainstream media to be mad at people that media says they should be mad at. They don't even fact check.. they just see something like this and go "SEE WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG ELON IS A BAD PERSON"
Oi you lumps. This post has been marked as
I don’t have to be on Twitter to watch the drama; I see the highlights here on Reddit.
I used to have Twitter, but i don't want to support Elon. You can get the highlights here anyway.
I don't have Twitter. I get on Reddit where everybody thinks the same way I do or they're banned
This is fake though?
If you're in the EU, remember to contact support for your sweet article 15+17 GDPR
If you are in the US, remember to ask your representative why we do not have GDPR.
FYI here’s what I just did (please let me know if there’s a better way).
Oooh can you explain for an American like myself?
Probably a dumb question, but does Twitter actually have any sort of holdings in the EU? Curious how the EU laws would be applicable to a US company without holdings, and it seems odd to me that an online based company would need any holdings in the EU.
Good thing I never even had a Twitter account
Same. All the good drama makes its way over to Reddit
Same but doesn’t feel that great when I still have an average of 5 Musk tweets per DAY in my fucking Reddit feed and on the front page. I don’t really have any respect left for people using Twitter and complaining.
I kinda wish I did so I could leave it.
I envy you.

The negatives ultimately outweighed the positives. Deleting FB/Twitter has been a wonderful decision

now this, this is peak cringe 😳
I deactivated my account when he started firing everyone, and I was glad I did when I saw his Hardcore ultimatum. He’s a real shit head and it’s not difficult to avoid supporting any of his ventures.
Same here. His actions just increases the potential of a data hack. No thank you, not for me.
Agreed. And for that, I won’t support a single one of his ventures ever again. EDIT: I never have supported any of his businesses so gold star and a cookie for me 👏
I deleted it back when they made the deal official. Which was like... April? May?
Who needs twitter when half of reddit and imgur is just twitter screenshots anyway
I can follow all the drama using this sub. Easy Peezy.
You’re all a bunch of posers. I deleted my account and app before Elon took over Twitter.
While this is a fake tweet, it’s still good advice.
I honestly can't tell anymore.
I shouldn’t have to scroll this far down to find out that it’s fake, and I shouldn’t have to doubt whether “this is fake” is the actual lie.
Nonsense. There’s a check mark /s
Honestly how do the mods allow a fake tweet like this to remain up?
Okay, this is what I was looking for. Thanks.

He is seriously trying to crash and burn Twitter to the ground. Does he have so much money he doesn’t care or just saudi funded so don’t care
You are right. What I don’t understand is why. He has about $30bn in loans against his Tesla stock invested, and if Twitter dies then that is lost.
I understand why it is so hard to believe that he's just so bad at running things and so he must be doing it on purpose, but that's not it. He's just bad at this, and fell down the right-wing rabbit hole and believes falsehoods about how to fix things.
He’s gone full Kanye West and completely overestimated his usefulness to society.
It’s a fake tweet
it’s a fake tweet .
If he can tank twitter hard enough, he can declare it bankrupt, and presumably write off the debt he amassed in order to acquire the platform. That’s my vague theory anyhow
This is a fake tweet. He did not tweet this.
You are thinking these actions are made by him.
I honestly can't tell if any this shit is real anymore.. Are we seriously all collectively watching as the richest man who ever lived throws a temper tantrum? What the actual fuck!?
Well this was faked it would seem. It's not on his timeline and it's not in this deleted tweet archive:
We’ll this post was faked so there’s that. Not that it matters, countless people have treated it like it’s real. The flair doesn’t make a difference either
The tags on this Reddit post literally say satire.
Look up OPs profile, no comments just fake tweets. He's fking with you guys
If people stay on after a tweet like this, then he’s right. Prove him wrong I guess.
App deleted, account deactivated.
It's very much like when Trump said he could shoot someone in the street and no one would care.
I literally just deleted it. Thanks for the reminder
But, I mean, this has to be a fake tweet.
I mean I deleted my account as soon as he bought it, and because of Reddit I can still see the drama.
I had an account I barely ever used. I deactivated it yesterday.
I deleted the day he took over. This man is a mess.
Fake tweet, like lots of what we see here. OP is a liar. Not a single trace of it
Sadly I think he's right about the drama addiction.
No, fuck that. I should be able to freely criticize the direction he’s taking the company without jUsT dELeTiNg tHe aPp.
And they will, funnily enough.
I'm not gonna give up following some of my favorite creatives just because a megalomaniacal billionaire is on a power trip.
this tweet appears to be fake, unless elon deleted it for some reason
[удалено]
It’s not real Jesus Christ
Fuck him, I deactivated my account last night and deleted the app.
Same. Boycotting everyone of his companies
I've got to leave this sub, I can't spend another second looking at Elon let alone Trump posts
Fake ones at that
I deactivated my account two weeks ago. Everyone should do the same. No idea why anyone would stay on it.
Deactivated my account and deleted Twitter today.
They want to watch the beautiful sight of twitter imploding
Just did it.
I did this once I started getting push notifications from Elon himself, even though I don’t follow him.
So he's just forcing everyone to get notifications every time he tweets? What a self-important little man child
It makes sense why he bought Twitter.
Even if this tweet turns out to be fake, the dude still has no fucking clue how markets work. Twitter needs the users more than the users need Twitter. It's not like he's selling baby formula or home heating oil.
It is fake. And the number of people failing for this is absurd
I've already started the process of switching to other platforms.
Funny you should say that. I’ve been kinda thinking of a Model 3 (more for the charging network than anything else), but now there’s no fucking way…
May I ask what “started the process” means? When I see people say that I just assume it’s lip service and they haven’t actually done anything and probably won’t.
i haven’t used twitter since he bought it dawg 💀
[удалено]
I deactivated my account yesterday
Fake tweet. Op is a liar. No trace of the tweet
Had to scroll too far to see this because I'm gullible as hell and I'd assume that the majority of people that saw this post assumed that that tweet was real because you never know with Elon these days
Thank you. I assumed so.
Of course this is 12th comment down and of course this thread is still up.
And the mods still not deleting it, even though it'd be checked within a min.
Thank you, this is good information.
Like, this dude is gross enough on his own. Why make shit up?
Any political cause (for example: "hate Musk") does NOT do itself any favors, by posting childish confusing fakes and similar worthless time wasting material.
Time to crash his Tesla board approved pay packages. Put your money into other competitors, NOT his vehicles.
had only deactivated…just deleted
Shoot I thought deactivate was delete. What’s that step?
Delete happens after 30 days after being deactivated
Let’s just say I was ahead of the curve on this one lol
Joke’s on him. I never had twitter:)
Same, never saw the interest and still don’t.
Said the man who paid $44 billion dollars to be king of Twitter drama.
It’s a fake tweet
Deactivated my account the day after he walked in HQ with a sink. Twitter is a shit-show
Thinking of creating an account just so I can delete it.
I have never had a Twitter. Full stop.
If we are going back to the 2000's, that's going to be a bye bye bye from me.
“I never had a twitter therefore it is irrelevant” very cool my man. twitter was an excellent source of info. lots of journos, politicans, comedians, scientists, etc. posting daily stuff you couldn’t find in an article anywhere. it was like a giant community blog and despite all its shortcomings will (and should) be missed.
It used to be a reliable source of independent journalism and a communication outlet for brands and governments before Elon took over
Use mastodon
Mastodon has hit critical mass. There is now an instance specifically for former Twitter employees.
I really like my mastodon. It doesn't push viral toots, so my feed's not full of drama mongering and "zingers". Just people saying stuff and cats.
Challenge accepted. Fuck him, fuck trump, fuck twitter. I’m out
And Tesla
It’s a fake tweet. This is propaganda.
I'm out! Waiting for a group of former employees to restart a better version without the hate!
Personally I think people are more addicted to watching the self proclaimed genius lose an ungodly amount of money.
Why does anyone even give a shit lol He's absolutely right, you all fucking love the drama
Says the person who inherited his fortune from a parent who owned an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa. ;)
You know what? Now I want him to fail. It wasn’t even about that before. I honestly thought “hey he came on a little strong but maybe he will get it together?”. No. Keep doing you Elon. We’re all babies, and you’re about to lose 44 billion dollars because you don’t understand the First Amendment.
[удалено]
Probably not. There is no way Musk would say to someone to not pay attention to him and to what he does.
Nope, not even a real tweet. Just checked. Photoshop
Trying to find out myself. I can't determine anymore, and I deleted my account the day he bought it so idk.
It’s not. User
This sub just turned into an Elon hate porn community lol. This isn't even a real tweet.
[удалено]
I'm so sick of hearing about him, and when he's not doing anything they just make something up.
In all fairness, I don't even have a Twitter and I'm addicted to this drama, reading it up over here everyday lol
Done. Now who's still advertising on Twitter? Can we write to them and avoid their shit too?
Signed on one last time to tweet 'fuck off' to this guy and deleted.
That's a good point. Just deactivated my account
I deleted my account weeks ago. And to think Elon used to be one of my heroes...............
Welp, you’re right Elon. Deactivated and done. Had a good 16 years.
I already deleted my account that I’ve had since 2008 and uninstalled the app.
Deleted my Twitter the week he took over.
Behold Mr Free Speech upset and pissy that folks are engaging in speech he doesn’t like and trying to bully them into leaving.
Sounds good. I actually deleted my account and the app last week. (I never used it anyway.)
Soooo if everyone starts giving 0 stars to Twitter in the app store, how many will it take before the app is removed? Asking for a friend
This isn’t a real tweet lol…
Psst, Reddit has better porn.
Now if we can just stop posting his tweets
This wasn’t a real tweet.
He assumes we use Twitter for nothing else but drama
Fake Tweet people
Just block Elon
Already did. And surprisingly I don’t miss the drama at all.
So annoying. Communities were built in Twitter and then this asshole comes along and just melts it down. I can't even tell if this is fake considering the real tweets I've seen from him. He's one of those things that's ruined the uncanny divide for me.
Already done. Sorry but the post you made just makes you sound like a whiny loser, Elon.
Ah, the ol’ double down, eh? App deleted
I’ll do you one better Elon: my next car is going to be an EV but it won’t be a Tesla.
Dude, you are the dealer, you dumb fuck. THE DEALER ISN’T SUPPOSED TO CALL HIS CUSTOMERS OUT ON BEING ADDICTS, YOU MORON!
This is by far the most hilarious, absurd, and chaotic downfall of a human being that I’ve ever seen.
Elon, we’re more like a bunch of flies.
What about those of us that have never used Twitter hmmm Elon?
How to deactivate Twitter account:
Nah I have Reddit which is basically Twitter screenshots the past few days
“Challenge accepted”
QUITTWITTERNOW I DID.
This is fake. Source: I have a Twitter (A lot of people here are saying they don’t have Twitter or they already deleted it).
Don’t really care if the tweet is fake or not, I deactivated anyway.
This guy doesn’t realise most of us use reddit to get the filtered twitter drama directly without having to scroll through other BS
He never tweeted this
This is so funny to me because it’s actually true lmao
This is fake. No such tweet on his account
[удалено]
Joke’s on him, I already did lol
I will gladly follow the demise of twitter on reddit
Delete the app, sell your Tsla stock, and replace your teslas with EVs that aren’t built by companies run by fascist activists.
I deleted the app when Elon first bought the damn thing, I knew from the start it was gonna be a dumpster fire
Saw and immediately deactivated and deleted app. Fuck ya wack ass drama 🤣
Already deleted it lol
Delete delete delete, thats some of the quickest deleting iv ever done
after seeing this i deactivated my account lmfao
Yeeted and deleted
As much as I hate Elon Musk and Donald Trump, he’s right that most of the people who say they’re going to leave Twitter are not going to leave Twitter.
I know it's fake, but deleting the "app" won't delete your account, you can still access it on PCs or browsers within your mobile devices.
Tried getting banned by Elon but it didn’t work… deactivated my account deleted the app. Won’t be returning. Really wanted to go out in a blaze but whatever. Can’t stand this prick anymore.
Really sad seeing so many people treat this as real even though the post is under satire. This literally puts so much wind in the sails of his fans. So many people patting themselves on their back for deleting Twitter (good move) over this actually fake tweet 😂😂😂😂😂
Never had and never will have Titter
Done!
I deactivated my account as soon as I found out he was taking over.
I moved all my art shit to Tumblr and Itaku, and I've been using Reddit for social media since 2021, so I mean, I really don't need Twitter. Can probably just delete the app at this point.
It's too bad the "Satire/Fake Tweet" flair doesn't appear with the post in the feed, because I imagine many people won't realize this is fake, despite being plausible.
I’m a heavy 10+ year user of Twitter with a legit blue check and thousands of followers and today I deleted my app.
Either this Tweet has been deleted or it's fake because he doesn't have anything like that on his profile. You guys are totally obsessed with Musk. Simply, if you don't like the way Twitter is doing, delete it and don't use it.
How is this allowed by moderators? It’s a fake tweet
It’s fake. Duh. This is reddit
This post is everything you ever need to know about people on reddit, lol. They're so trained hy mainstream media to be mad at people that media says they should be mad at. They don't even fact check.. they just see something like this and go "SEE WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG ELON IS A BAD PERSON"
It's a fake tweet. OP is a trashcan. I have deactivated my account though.
Where did he tweet this? Because I don’t see it anywhere. If he did, he’s not wrong.
Cause it’s fake, OP is a fucking loser
