People Describe What Will Happen If Elon Musk's Twitter Buyout Goes Through

People on social media could follow a trend.

Following A Trend

"People pretend to leave but don't actually leave."

– MrBananaStorm

The Other Platform

"Also: people declaring they're leaving for Instagram without realizing that's owned by Zucc."

– majima__goro

Owned

"next Elon buys Reddit."

– sanman

On To The Next

"Paperwork. Then checks cut to the stockholders to buy them out."

– User Deleted

The potential buyout might not cause any mayhem at all.

Life Goes On

"For me, nothing. Continue with my daily life without twitter, that sh*ts toxic."

– itsMondaybackwards

Ignorance Is Bliss

"Yea why are people so angry about this? I'm genuinely asking, I don't know anything about twitter and Elon Musk."

– doggrimoire

Pet-opia

" Cats and dogs living together."

– tewnewt

Some Things Never Change

"Nothing, Twitter stays the same hellhole lmao."

– ilovecatfish

No New Customer

"I'm not sure I care. Don't use it now, won't use it when he owns it."

– bh0

Some people are just bracing themselves.

Lies Resume

"The return of Donald Trump on twitter."

– laja7

Indication Of Damages Done

"Musk is wanting to boot the bots, which should undermine tons of election interference, but I fear they've already created a self-perpetuating monster. Twitter may be unable to distinguish between extremist and algorithm. Regardless of his success, it is a job that needs to be done."

– borg286

It's Conditional

"If he succeeds in removing 'unauthentic' content, it could be good for discourse. If he turns it into a misinformation free for all, I’m out."

– pallentx

No one knows for sure what's in store for us in a world of Musk ruling over the Twitterverse.

But let's focus on and help fast-track autonomous vehicles for safe public transportation before Twitter begins a potential crash-and-burn trajectory.
