Musk is improving Twitter
In between watching the scandalous FTX crypto scam unfold and making all the Thanksgiving fixings, I’ve joined Twitter, which I’ve refused to participate in for years. One reason for my about-face on the social media site is that Elon Musk, the new owner, is creating a genuine open forum and he’s actively participating as a commentator in the most amusing way.

In time, if Musk achieves his goal, Facebook may reform itself as well, or suffer a significant loss of participants and revenue.
