How does one make a Twitter account. I don’t know anything about social media.

You go here: twitter.com and sign up. Easy peasy.

I used a gmail account to sign up, did it on a browser on my PC. The next time I picked up my mobile phone, I noticed that my phone had installed the twitter app on it.

At least its a reminder that these little mobile spy devices are always watching and listening.

Thanks. I now see that there’s a Twitter app available for iPhone.

Whether or not President Trump ever gets a twitter account again is less important than the fact that the libtard progs have lost one of their assets for spreading hate

Musk closes deal and immediately fires top management…:-)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/e...takeover-11666918031

Mr. Musk fired Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Parag Agrawal and Chief Fi­nan­cial Of­fi­cer Ned Se­gal af­ter the deal closed, the peo­ple said. Mr. Musk also fired Vi­jaya Gadde, Twit­ter’s top le­gal and pol­icy ex­ec­u­tive, and Sean Ed­gett, gen­eral coun­sel. Spokes­peo­ple for Twit­ter didn’t com­ment.

Elon went on to tweet “The bird is freed”

HAHA!

Good.

Whatever makes those idiots wet their pants is generally a good thing.

I probably STILL won't make an account for a few reasons.

1. I don't care what random idiots on the internet think. If I care what someone thinks, I'm close to them in some way. Personally, professionally. I actually TALK to them. If they aren't in my contacts list, in phone, email, or whatever, I really don't care about their opinion. They're welcome to have it, but I don't need to, or want to, read/hear it.

2. The same applies to me. SOOO many people are so arrogant to think that ANYONE gives a shit about what they think. Social media has destroyed society in this way IMO. 20 years ago, the only people who heard your opinion were those close to you. If they thought your opinions were bullshit, toxic, or whatever, they could just stop hanging out with you. Notice how "cancel culture" became a thing after social media? "Cancel Culture" used to be where we just either stopped talking to you, inviting you, or being nice to you until you stopped annoying us with your bullshit. With social media and twitter et al, that became much harder to do. The only thing left was to turn public opinion against the "offender" and shame them. It's the most passive-aggressive bullshit ever.

That's what the latter millennials and Gen Z are missing... The idea that absolutely no one cares about your bullshit.

Are you kidding? I'm saying that is a fake Trump message, which it is.

That African American joke is as old as time.

In stead of escorting the shitheads out he should have created a gauntlet of all the banned twitter members for them to run through.

Expect in a few months, maybe six, DOJ will be all over Musk for using the tech giant for censorship.

Yes, even for someone who has little interest in what happens on Twitter, and even less likelihood of ever opening an account.
