In a January email to staff, Musk pointed to the company’s growing influence and power, but said the finances remain problematic.

“Our user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even,” he said in the email, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Geee I wonder what could have caused this?

This certainly hasn't helped.

Why do I keep seeing this particular comparison? It's the least obvious part of the whole thing. The rest was clearly a Nazi salute. Without that context you may think he's clutching his chest because he's having a heart attack or something.

Edit: nevermind I'm just dumb. I guess gifs don't auto load on my Lemmy client anymore. I swear they used to.

Ya this is just a still image in Mlem

The App Store version of Mlem doesn't support gifs just yet, but the beta version does.

In what way?

I switched to Voyager from mlem a while back and want to know what’s better now?

I mean … gifs not working in the App Store version isn’t a great sign fwiw

Voyager seems to try to be an exact clone of Apollo, even when Apollo had things it didn’t do correctly. Mlem has much better commenting imo, for example I can pull down my reply box without closing it, in order to reread over comments in the thread or scroll around, and then pull it back up to continue replying. I also think Mlem is just more responsive, including with images. Though voyager has more features with images.

I had no clue that the App Store version hadn’t been updated though. I think many people using Mlem are on the TestFlight.

I did like the commenting in mlem, I’ll give you that.

it was bought by musk at the behest of saudi royals who never again wanted to be raked over the coals globally for doing something like butchering kashoggi, the blowback cost them face which they were not prepared for spending billions on things like soccer leagues and stadium to curry favor with the west, and elon wanted saudi markets open for his rocket ships and electric cars, they invested, he invested, but mostly he took out loans from sucker banks which had made money from tesla and space x. i don't think he intended to become the nazi poster child when he bought twitter, but water finds it's own level, and this was always his.

See, I've always maintained that he bought Twitter with the specific intention of earning his spot as the Goebbels in the upcoming Reich. It was never about money, it's always been a power play.
