Twitter may undergo a face-lift soon, and the usual suspects are losing it. On Monday, Elon Musk indicated his desire to move forward with a deal to purchase Twitter.

Some who are deeply entrenched in Twitter think that it is the center of the universe. But when compared to sites from around the world, Twitter isn’t even in the top ten. In just the United States, Twitter ranks third in terms of site visits on social media platforms. Facebook continues to dominate by a large percentage. But it feels as if Twitter matters much more, even if it really doesn’t. The format and instant access to news and newsmakers is key. Politics is a major modern religion, and the portal is Twitter.
