We didn’t recognize the name David Rothkopf, but after reading his tweet, we assumed he was one of the higher-ups at Twitter and the “we” he was speaking of was the employees — if “we” walk out the door, Twitter is nothing. But it turns out he’s a columnist for The Daily Beast and on the board of contributors at USA Today … so he’s an opinion writer. So we’re assuming what he’s saying is that if Elon Musk takes over the company and “we” — liberal journalists — walk out the door, there’s nothing there.
We are the assets of @Twitter. If we walk out the door the moment @ElonMusk takes it over, it is nothing. And, I can tell you, I for one, have no desire to participate in the social engineering experiment of that particular out-of-control megalomaniac.

Are we reading that incorrectly? Twitter will just shut down if he and people who think like him delete their accounts?
Then delete your account

YOU and your buds are the assets of Twitter?
You are melting down and are out-of-control because you think YOUR speech and YOUR thoughts are more important to protect than anyone else’s.
That’s the VERY definition of a megalomaniac! https://t.co/qVNc9EaJvC

Dave is currently actively participating in the social engineering experiments of an out of control megalomaniac but lacks the awareness to recognize it.
don't be a Dave https://t.co/5eBSVpchD9

Let me get this straight, if a man that no one has ever heard of leaves Twitter, it’s finished? You’re not that important, bro. Your own mother couldn’t pick you out of a 1 person lineup. https://t.co/T0dL5FXO1l

Imagine Twitter without left-wing journalists. Their constant griping and virtue signaling are what keep the site going.
