I always think it's funny that leftists rant at X owner Elon Musk, yet they still post on X, ranting away.
If they think he's evil and X is a pit hole, why are they still here?
Because ultimately, they care about attention, and even if they get little of it on X, they still crave it. They need affirmation from whatever followers they may have.
But all the time, money, and effort that Elon has put into the platform might just be worth it, now that the execrable Keith Olbermann says that he's officially leaving. Musk posted a joke meme about Pizzagate that he later deleted, but it caused a meltdown on the left, including Olbermann.
To Olbermann, this was an "endorsement" of Pizzagate and QAnoon, so he was off to the races.
After Musk's endorsement of the QAnon Pizzagate conspiracy theory, I won't be posting here any more. There are a couple of prescheduled promos for the Podcast, the last runs ~10PM I'm on the other socials under my name or some variation of Countdown With KO/Keith Olbermann.

"I wouldn't be posting here any more," Olbermann said.
Don't tease us with a good time.
Olbermann claimed Musk was an "antisemite" and a "moron," but worst of all, Olbermann wasn't getting the clicks he wanted for his podcast. Way to tell on yourself—he thinks he isn't getting clicks, and that's why he's out (maybe).
Warning for graphic language:
...they came from. Out of 125,000, a total of 22 came from Twitter. Not 22 percent; 22 - the number between 21 and 23

Our dog rescue account @TomJumboGrumbo will continue because dogs' lives are more important than my disgust. We'll figure out something there.
But may I suggest to him there's another reason he isn't getting the clicks? It's because no one is interested.
Musk is a pretty poor antisemite who just went to Israel and viewed some of what happened during the attack on Oct. 7.
Olbermann also posted "F**k Elon Musk" as his banner and repeated the Pizzagate claim in his profile. Olbermann can't not behave like a spoiled child.
Keith Olbermann is absolutely melting down on Elon Musk's social media app after Musk posted a meme about Pizzagate.

This was after the prior week Olbermann called for the banning of X because he didn't like something Elon said and the "security" of the United States was "at stake." He failed to see the irony of trying to shut down free speech while railing about Nazis.
But the announcement of his leaving brought a couple of reactions.
First, people were celebrating.
"I'm leaving Twitter/X" is the equivalent to "I'm moving to Canada if Donald Trump is elected President" in 2016 😂

But folks doubted that he would stay away, and people were already giving the over/under on how long he would last before he tweeted again.
He said he would keep his dog account open. He posted from there when he was briefly banned, so he may have left himself an out.
But he's such a train wreck, who knows? We will have to see if he holds to it and can stay away. But the smart money says the rabid liberal won't be able to stand it and will be back.
