On Thursday, YouTuber MrBeast and Elon Musk had an exchange on Twitter about whether the YouTube star could actually become the platform's CEO.

“It’s a sad, miserable way to go about life.” Plus, the company’s revenue is down. “Let’s see what happens when Twitter offers good video with higher compensation for creators,” Musk replied. He’s known for throwing stunts, pranks, and hosting massive cash giveaways on his massive platform.

But the thing that stands out to me is throughout the Trump era, a thing that I was sure of as a professor of political communications was that if Donald Trump was out of the news cycle for two days, he was going to do something to make us focus on him again. But the fact of the layoffs is the one thing that I’d say, “Okay, it’s gross, but a lot of those would have happened anyway.” Not a big, dramatic “we’re all going to turn it off” one day, but a couple of early adopters get on a different network, that network proves its value, the other one stops serving its value, and you slowly forget your password. We may re-create the stuff that Twitter is good for, or it might be that we are witnessing the decline and the end of an era. A bunch of those layoffs would have happened just because 2022 is the year that companies like Twitter are realizing we’re no longer in a “build tons of new things” moment. I do think it’s noteworthy that Twitter and Facebook are both on the decline, though not for anywhere near the same reasons. And even though you can port over who you follow to Mastodon, that only works if everybody’s moving to the same place. And 10 years ago, Elon Musk was the archetype of that story. When we spoke late last week, he predicted that the Musk drama would continue: “Every time he goes a couple days of getting a little worried that people are getting bored, he has to do something ridiculous.” That’s 14 years of both aggregating a set of people who follow me and also refining the set of people that I follow. “I just feel like I’ve reached the limits of my imagination for what that could be,” he said. And these innovator-inventor heroes are the ones who are paving the way to a new and better world, because they’re such incredible geniuses.
