Done With Twitter

We’re not posting on Twitter anymore. Not because we’re scared of debate, and not because we can’t handle disagreement—but because the platform has become a cesspool of hate, misinformation, and performative outrage that punishes nuance and rewards the worst instincts in people. At a certain point, choosing not to participate isn’t weakness. It’s discipline.

Now, we’re not pretending Twitter has zero value. We’re not leaving entirely, at least not yet. There’s still data there—real-time information, market sentiment, breaking news velocity, and a quick read on what narratives are gaining traction. If you’re in sports, betting, finance, or media, it can still function like a radar screen. But the quality of that radar is degrading. The best voices are posting less, leaving altogether, or moving to smaller circles where the algorithm can’t turn every conversation into a screaming match.

And that’s the tradeoff: Twitter can still be useful, but it’s become less livable.

We also want to be fair about Elon Musk. We like Elon because of Tesla—period. Tesla stock has treated us well, and credit where it’s due: few people in modern business have pushed innovation the way he has. But liking Tesla and respecting what it’s done doesn’t mean we have to applaud what’s happened to Twitter since he took over. The dysfunction is obvious. The experience is worse. And the overall direction has felt more like demolition than improvement.

If you’re building something real—whether it’s a brand, a bankroll, or a life—you can’t spend your days swimming in digital sewage and calling it “staying informed.” That kind of environment shapes you. It trains your brain toward anger, dopamine, and tribal reflexes. It makes you sloppy. It makes you reactive. And if you’re trying to thrive, that’s the opposite of what you need.

So here’s our stance: we’ll use Twitter like a tool, not like a home. We’ll observe, gather what’s useful, and move on. But we’re done feeding the machine with posts and energy. Bet Thrive is about clarity, discipline, and building forward—not getting dragged into the algorithm’s chaos.
