Getting kinda sick of those whole "Elon bought Twitter to destroy it!" Perspective. Read the history.
He was trying to manipulate stocks (successfully) like he has for years.
Finally, it caught up with him and didn't work and he was forced to buy it or get sued.
He tried really hard for months to "reinvent it".
He's really really fucking stupid and with his drug habits and wealth, doesn't live in a state of reality
Twitter gets worse and worse because his knee jerk solutions aren't working. Because unlike his other companies that run with competent people who block Musk from intervening, Twitter was pure Musk at the helm.
Stop with the conspiracy bs. There's so much documented resources to follow this history.
I agree on most of it, but I have genuine conspiracy theories I can't let go of about the end of the "state media" flag. Applying the state media flag to BBC and CBC and NPR was an excellent way to kill it for his Saudi and Russian friends.
