They , they're doing a good job with it . Um But your decision to close your account on Twitter , um I think grabbed a lot of eyes and ears and um there's a lot of questions about why it was a very large account , you know , um it correlated with a number of things that for the outsider , people might be wondering about um you know , new leadership , uh new , you know , people who had been booted off , brought back on or at least invited back on and so on . Uh You are certainly not obligated to explain your behavior to me , uh or anybody else um for that matter .
This may seem like a divergence , but I , and many other people are very curious about a recent decision that you made , which was to close your account on Twitter . Um You still have an Instagram account I noticed , but I never , I mean , my team manages that .
It's like , well , if it's not , if , if this is what it's doing to Elon and he's got all these other things he could be doing with his attention . How much of my use of Twitter is actually , you know , a good idea and , you know , optimized to my well being and the well being of the people around me . Um So anyway , it was , there was an addictive component to it , I think .
It's either it's Genesis was Twitter or it's the , the , uh , the further spin of it that became truly unpleasant and dysfunctional happened on Twitter . Like it was just Twitter was part of the story when it was got really bad . And I've , I've had , you know , vacations that have gone sideways just because I got on Twitter and said something and then I had to produce a controversy that I had to respond to and then I had to do a podcast about that and it just , and it was just OK , this is a mess , right ?
Um But Twitter was me , I mean , I , you know , for better or worse and um I began to feel more and more for worse and it was , um it was interesting because it was very , you know , I , I've , I've , you know , I've talked about it , a lot of my podcast about just my , my love hate relationship with Twitter . Over the years , many good things came to me from Twitter and I , and I was , you know , I was following a lot of smart people and it , it had become my news feed and my first point of contact with , with information each day and I was really attached to it just for that reason , just as a consumer of , of content . Um And then it was also a place where I was at .
