Elon doesn't want you browsing Twitter

You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don't get in the #Titan ?
Don't get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX
Each time a platform reaches enough popularity to attract an average voter, people starts to blame the platform for being stupid. I'm waiting for the day we collectively realize it's not the platform we hate, it's the average person.
The average person it's fine, it's when they're in a group and you get the average of the average people that things get dumb.
Solution: kill all humans /s
Us meatbags had our chance
We seem to be doing a pretty good job of that, too.
When you have one guy in town that's an idiot, that guy is the village idiot. The village idiot know he's the dumbest guy in town and so will tend to listen to the people smarter than him.
But with the internet you're getting a lot of people together and letting them find groups they fit into. That's mostly a good thing.
But all the village idiots get into a group together where they only people they're talking to are other village idiots. Then they start thinking their idiocy is right. And they stop listening to the people smarter than them.
Then you have a lot of confident idiots who bring everyone down to their level.
