    See, I’ve seen this do the rounds, and it always loses me before Saddam, because let’s be honest, if you’re into knees you’re clearly more respectable than being super into ass. Weirder, for sure, but more respectable, in an old timey, strangely prudish way.

      I give my brother shit because he’s far left progressive but still spends all day on Xitter. His excuse is that Xitter isnt making a profit so he’s hurting Musk a tiny bit every time he uses it…Yeah, I didnt buy it either.

        Have a counterargument to give him. He’s the product, and his service is giving fascist trolls someone to argue with, and fellow “leftists” someone to come to X to see. He’s encouraging other people to use the site, and they’re watching ads and buying checkmarks.

        Also he’s encouraging governments and politicians to stay, and letting the media be controlled by a fascist.

        It would be a lot less profitable if the site was only bots. He’s subsidizing the bots.

        Forget profit, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that choosing to stay on twitter only legitimizes it.

        Xitter isn’t meant to make a profit directly, it’s a loss leader to gain government influence so he can make real money through government contracts via Space X, Starlink, etc
