2024 Good Guys Crookies Award Goes To Bluesky (Obviously!)
After Elon Musk bought Xitter (I'll never call that rancid shithole site X) in 2022, he broke the social media platform. In 2022, Xitter was valued at $5.7 billion. By 2023, that number dropped to nearly $3.9 billion. By 2024, the brand's value had fallen to $673.3 million. Leon eradicated the team setup to keep the platform safe, leaving moderation on the site nonexistent. When Leon bought Xitter, he claimed it should be politically neutral.
Elmo didn't keep that promise long and soon turned into a shitposting Edgelord while playing footsie with white nationalists. Then, the wealthiest man in the world went full-MAGA and bought the election for Donald. He even did his little dipshit dance onstage at a rally for Donald.
