Looks like Bluesky really has got the momentum:

Bluesky Emerges As Traffic Source: Publishers Report 3x Engagement

Bluesky gains momentum as publishers report triple engagement rates, attracting media outlets and developers from rival social platforms.

"Matt Karolian from The Boston Globe reported, “Traffic from Bluesky to @bostonglobe.com is already 3x that of Threads, and we are seeing 4.5x the conversions to paying digital subscribers.”
...
According to Kevin Rothrock from The New York Times, “It’s hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. A vastly smaller user base (at this point) but so much more active and attentive.”

Building a social media company is about content and users. Right now, the content producers are much happier with Bluesky than Twitter, especially since the latter started downranking posts with links.




He sued the advertisers after they fled the flight when he told them to go fuck themselves.
Mabe he could try suing the content publishers and users leaving en masse?

Of course they are.

Musk said he got rid of the bots. They can't be bots.

I remember when Musk was buying Twitter, the number of bots at the time was a sticking point in negotiations. The numbers of users was inflated then so no doubt now as well
The lovely ladies are real and they want you.

Mostly due to this move:

Nvidia H100s are in relatively short supply globally, he massively bolstered xAI with that. Didn't realise he'd lumped the ownership of xAI with Twitter. Interesting.
