Ok, I've seen enough [View all]

I "deactivated" my Twitter account. The instructions say it will automatically delete in 30 days if I don't sign back in, but I wasn't able to delete it today. I hope Musk doesn't change that automatic deletion.

What put me over the edge was the reports about how he's treated his workers. I don't like to frequent those kinds of businesses.

This is no great loss for Musk. I rarely posted and only had about 300 followers.
