    Sometimes I think he bought it to completely destroy it just to get back at some random Twitter user who made him mad a year ago

      He bought it to completely destroy it because it was one of the few big social media platforms that didn’t give a distinct advantage to RWNJs.

      It’s weird to me that this isn’t more commonly believed, because his main aim with all this is to make America more oligarchic (i.e. great again) and become an oligarch, as is the fashion among rich white supremacists.

      Not to get political.

    Elon speed running Twitter into the ground takes more and more ridiculous turns each day.

    I’d like to hand him something, but I don’t want to pick it up.

    I’ll hand it to him: he sure dropped a bombshell announcement about Twitter rebranding to X, then climbed aboard N628TS at Austin Texas 05:51 hrs UTC, flying to Genoa Italy!
