Veteran tech journalist Walt Mossberg announced on Tuesday he was deactivating his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, saying Elon Musk’s takeover of the site turned it into a “cesspool.”

Mr Mossberg is a well-respected name and expert in the US tech writing industry, who also co-founded media sites such as Recode and AllThingsD. He announced his boycotting of X on Meta’s new platform Threads, saying his reasons revolve around business tycoon Mr Musk’s threats to sue the Anti-Defemation League (ADL).

    Twitter has been a cesspool for many years before Elon. I don’t know what he’s on about.

      you sir, are a minimizing cunt, who likes to diminish any legitimate gripe and charge being made, to what musk, personally has done, has caused, has invited into the general sphere. you are not smart, you are running interference for nazis, “well, they were already there so attacking the adl for stealing his advertising revenue is no big deal”. enjoy your undue unearned moral superiority. we know, we know, you “live in a society”. putz.
