It was certainly a strange week to be on Twitter.
Chief Twit Elon Musk is treating the website like his own little fiefdom, which it is, considering he paid $44 billion for it. Still, Musk seems to be making up rules as he goes along. He's suspending journalists who report on him for unclear reasons. He's tweeting polls. He's shutting down features.
But, through it all, people kept tweeting. Because lots of us are addicted to the platform — or at least the skeleton of what it was — and we just can't stop posting. So sure, shit is getting weird under Musk. But the posting goes on, strong as ever. Here are the 10 best tweets from a weird week on Twitter.
