“you’re early” to a site that predates mobile “apps” as a term. twitter’s been around longer than the iphone. You originally tweeted by sending a text message to it, hence the character limit.
but yeah it’s hilarious how transparently identical this rhetoric is to crypto scams. Same people, same playbooks

They still failed to make a dent in Tiktoks market share
Nah, it’s just going to fill it with shitty content churned out by people using AIs trying to make a quick buck, ripping apart any value it had remaining. It’s a desperation move with no concept of what effect it will have because Musk really doesn’t understand the social digital space.
