I suppose the question is, what does she have if she stays?
Same, but with women generating revenue for the site too?

...and being the target of MAGA misogyny. As someone else pointed out, it's rather like a headline from the Onion.

You missed out that Musky can control the narrative.

I can’t read the tape but there are stringent regulations on the dimensions and ramp gradients and maximums are lower on bus routes.
That said, back in the 90s where the Council I worked was chucking loads of them in the Labour Council Leader came into our office to moan that some we’d put in his constituency weren’t steep enough and “I don’t care what the regulations say, I want them higher”. How times have changed (we obviously nodded along and completely ignored him).
BTW, when was the last time they were called sleeping policemen? I guess it reflects the demographic of Telegraph readers. Maybe they should be renamed sleeping ICE agents and they shoot at you if you drive vaguely in their direction.

It makes a change from complaining about pot holes..
Perhaps they could fill the pot holes with sleeping policemen.

It looks like a lot more MPs are decamping to Bluesky (amongst others), so an occasional quiz: what party does this one represent, do you think?

Have you checked X to see if the exact same thing is on there?

No, haven't done X for quite a while now, and not going to. So there.

If those who don't enjoy the cesspit left, even more advertisers would depart and Twitter would go bust. Either that or Musk would realise that operating it as a out-of-control cesspit is not profitable and have have a rethink and change company policies. ie it need for profitability would force a change or it would cease trading.
Continuing using it gives the advertisers reasons to keep paying Musk (captive target audience) which allows Musk to perpetuate things are they are and allow things to deteriorate further.

This makes interesting reading. X seems to have peaked in 2022/2023 and has never (they think) been profitable. The male/female demographic split is unsurprising, but the user age band information, though very coarse, reads to me just like every other platform that has come and either gone or stagnated, in that there is a bubble of core blow hards (I mean twitter users) who are all getting older together, but who are not being replaced.

I don't think the profitability of it is an issue. As long as it's a far-right mouthpiece with him as the great god of all, it's a small price in the grand scheme of things.

My thought was in that he has investors and they are looking for a return rather than to subsidise Musk's far-right political views. And some of the more thinking "far-right" will be realising that Musk is probably doing more damage to their goals than helping (creating and publishing sexualised images of children is pretty universally condemned so won't he helping those pursuing their far-right agendas).

I'm not so sure any more. All right, he is a multi-billionaire on paper but how many of his companies are making the expected profits, if any?
Shareholders will start to look after their own interests sooner or later.

The technical term is 'bubble'. See 'South Sea' for one that burst. See AI for one that hasn't yet, but is expected to at some point.

There is usually profits attached to the bubble before it goes pop!
As far as X and Tesla go I think it's more of a balloon blowing a raspberry.
