Any sports journalist in the world will tell you that Twitter is arguably the most useful social media tool to do their job. The discipline is irrelevant. For the past decade, all sports have used this platform to report on everything that happens in real time and sports journalism has been wildly benefited from it. When the whole #RIPTwitter hashtag started trending on Thursday night, many in the industry were uncertain for what would happen right before the FIFA World Cup begins. Not having a tool as useful as Twitter would certainly be a step backwards while everybody found another similar platform. But Elon Musk had to step in.
In a tweetposted during Friday afternoon, the tech mogul assured anybody who will watch the World Cup that Twitter is not going anywhere. It was a short tweet but certainly a reassuring one at that. Musk may be hated by many for the way in which he is handling the platform but he can’t be stupid if he runs a handfull of the biggest companies in the world of tech with impressive levels of success. He must know what’s at stake if Twitter ceases to exist. That’s why he saw fit to write this tweet and calm everybody down with all the doomsday scenarios.
Elon confirms Twitter isn’t going anywhere
When the news of the Twitter employees walking out of the offices started breaking, many inside the platform started talking about the platform ceasing to exist. This is kind of impossible to happen for a number of important factors. For one, this platform is too big to simply stop existing overnight. Many different steps need to happen before any of that becomes a reality. Also, the only ones who are abandoning Twitter are the liberals and people who can’t tolerate Elon Musk’s ‘freedom of speech vs freedom of reach’ philosophy. They probably won’t be around anymore but the platform will live on.
This means that all sports fans who feared they wouldn’t have Twitter to seek their results in real time can rest assured nothing grave will happen. The World Cup tweet Elon Musk just wrote has an entire context behind it. In a sense, Musk has all the intention to treat Twitter like the end of the world. Meaning that the world only ends to people who are no longer here. Those to decide to no longer be on the platform are the only ones for whom this platform will cease o exist. Same as the end of the world. Here’s the tweet and please, do try to enjoy te World Cup.
