    Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.

    Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).

    When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.

    Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:

    "Twitter? What’s a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork’s logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms… and everyone wants to be his best friend… and it’s against the law to divorce him… and he’s cool… and…"

    What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you’ll never outrun that.

      You are giving Elon way to much credit - I really doubt that he is playing 4D chess here. But let’s see 😅

        I find it hard to believe Elon is playing 4d chess, I also think its unlikely that he could fuck up this comprehensively by accident.

          Doing weird stuff have given him a lot of free media attention- maybe it’s just become a habit and it’s about to backfire? 🤞🏻

            Yeah he has, but if he was just being weird and random, what are the odds on him making a bad call every single time?
