Someone posted yesterday that the beginning of Musk's Twitter buy happened shortly after elonjet refused his $5000 offer to buy the account. The rational part of me says he surely couldn't have spent $45 billion dollars to shut the account down, but it's kinda feeling more and more true as the story continues.

It's like this is the 21st century version of the San Francisco story where Yung refused to sell their house to the robber baron Cocker, leading Cocker to build an expensive three story tall fence around the house forcing Yung to move.

perhaps the ultimate irony will be that people will ditch Twitter for something like Mastoden.

Elon jet is alive and well over there.

I would assume given the situation, that account would be one of the most popular on Mastodon.

It currently had 41k followers, and 2.5k likes on the post about it being banned on Twitter.

Comparatively, Elon's most recently Twitter post ("Twitter right now is <four fire emoticons>") has 186k likes.

It seems very unlikely the "great exodus" is happening or likely to happen due to this, at least to Mastodon.
