It's been off the shark for two months. We're already to the point we've been judging people still there for having not seen it yet. o.o

Unbanning the alt-right wasn't jumping the shark? Firing over half the employees wasn't jumping the shark? Promoting COVID misinformation wasn't jumping the shark? Yeah, he finally started banning journalists, but he's been making the place unwelcome for anyone who isn't a Trump supporter for a long as heck time.

If you are just now asking if it's going to jump the shark, and I mean this not to be sarcastic or mean, but in genuine hope for the future: Please spend some time asking yourself why banning PG was the last straw for you, and not any of the crazy stuff prior.

Let's make this the last time we let hero worship blind us to the realities on the ground.



At least unbanning alt-right figures (as much as I disagree with) was in line with Musk's free-speech pretense. Everything else that came after that... yikes. I wonder what juicy government contracts the GOP has promised him.
