Twitter's a Dumpster Fire and The Red Wave That Wasn't Fireside Chat | Rik's Mind Podcast Ep 109
Rik Picked a hell of a week to go hunting. While our fearless leader was out in the woods chasing elk, Twitter was imploding and the predicted “Red Wave” of republican voters didn’t show up to the polls.
The Republican strategy of promoting election fraud has backfired. The Democrats (as of now with the Georgia run-off to come) are retaining control of the Senate and the Republicans have taken the House, but only by a slim margin of 7 seats. The GOP seems to be in the midst of a civil war between Trump and DeSantis, setting up a contentious 2024 Election cycle.
Meanwhile, everyone’s favorite billionaire Daddy Musk has been turning Twitter into a dumpster fire. Firing 7k people within the first week. Most of those being his entire content moderation team and engineers who actually built Twitter. Surprising to everyone this has caused chaos. Uses of N-word on Twitter jumped by almost 500% in the few days following his takeover and the Twitter Blue plan has backfired in spectacular fashion. They’re bleeding money and users, so let’s all enjoy Elon’s follies. Stick around for the fun with Rik and Jon!
