Several of my Times colleagues, also users of the platform, have weighed in about what Twitter is and what Twitter will be. Loads of other people evidently have opinions about Twitter, too, particularly after the company announced it would be selling itself to Elon Musk for roughly $44 billion. Twitter is meaningful to me, while constantly leaving me wondering why, exactly, that is the case. And after 14 years on the platform, I have a lot of feelings about it. I started my Twitter account in June 2008.
