Elon Musk has minimized the problem of mob trolling on X, formerly Twitter, after renowned venture capitalist Paul Graham quipped that the social media platform has "improved" a lot.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Graham shared his thoughts on Twitter’s transformation since Musk acquired it in late 2022.
"Twitter has improved a lot," Graham said in a post.
"I can remember times a few years ago when I only even continued to use Twitter to show that I couldn’t be intimidated by woke mobs."
Twitter has improved a lot. I can remember times a few years ago when I only even continued to use Twitter to show that I couldn't be intimidated by woke mobs. But as far as I can remember I've only been dragged by a mob once in the past year, and it wasn't a woke one.— Paul Graham (@paulg) January 28, 2024
Graham added that while mobs had targeted him in the past, it had happened less frequently in the last year. He concluded by acknowledging the trauma caused by such incidents.
Musk said people "get used" to being trolled by mobs. "Like water off a duck's back."
Yeah, but you get used.Like
