10 Reasons to Ignore What Elon Musk is Doing With Twitter

    1. There are better, more unsung stories to seek out.

    Elon Musk is a brilliant, visionary business leader and entertaining personality. However, there are literally millions of other people on this planet who are doing equally (if not more) astounding things in athletics, music, art, writing, religion, non-profits, and so much more. Seek out their stories.

    2. Most people just want to argue with you about what you think he should do.

    No matter what you think he should do, and no matter how sure you are, there will be about a million people on Twitter who will gladly disagree with you.

    3. Is Elon Musk sending me a paycheck?

    Do I work for Elon Musk? No? So, why would I spend so much of my precious time worried about him? Whatever Elon Musk does with Twitter will have no bearing on how much money I make this month, how many clients I gain, how many sales I make, or how I pay my bills.

    4. It's an energy drain.

    It is exceptionally poor resource management (in other words, energy drain) to focus so much on one man whose tweets about a social network have quite literally zero impact on our lives. Better to use that time, energy, and attention on actions of greater value.

    5. Oh, the mainstream news is talking about nothing except for what Elon Musk is tweeting?

    6. Twitter will be gone someday.

    When? No one knows. But, it will happen. I looked up the list of companies that have made it the last century. See below. Does anyone really believe Twitter belongs on this list (source: https://www.yahoo.com/now/100-old-companies-still-business-170025835.html)?

    Coca-Cola.
    J.C. Penney.
    UPS.
    Boeing.
    L.L. Bean.
    Harley-Davidson.
    Kraft Foods.
    Kellogg's.
    Equifax.
    Target.

    7. It's exhausting to be caught up in the left-right political food fight that's taking place over what Elon Musk should allow or ban on Twitter.

    See #2 above.

    8. Most people aren't even on Twitter.

    There are about 7.9 billion people on the planet right now. There are about 396 million Twitter users right now (source: https://backlinko.com/twitter-users). That's roughly 5% of the world population. Do we think the other 95% of the world population cares what Elon Musk does with Twitter?

    9. Nothing Elon Musk does with Twitter will bring about world peace.

    If you listen to certain voices, they believe the "sweeping" changes that will take place on Twitter (if any changes happen at all) will make the world better. Wrong. There will still be millions of people who are hungry, unemployed, depressed, anxious, lonely, abused, and worse. These are the important things on which to focus in this world.

    10. BECAUSE NOTEPD IS WAY BETTER!
