I wonder about the potential for Twitter to improve as a product with a little shakeup/different priorities.

Stuff like not needing to login to browse or a better system for longer tweets/threads. I'd also be a fan of a very fast/lightweight interface, something closer to nitter.net.

I bet 5 dogecoins that we won't get anything of this.

My hunch is we will get exactly zero new features, but Musk will be able to ensure any and all of his rich buddies will be back on the platform.

I don't think he gives a damn about the product or how it functions.

I bet you get Donald Trump back on Twitter.

I bet spams will be removed.

Looks like we already have. Your 5 dogecoin is worth 25% more on the news.

... and? That's not related to whether the said functionalities get implemented or not is it.

Every dogecoin transferred kills a dog. It's part of a fancy new crypto mechanism called proof of jerk.

Judging by Tesla, Elon isn’t big on UX.
