Spez dickrides the fuck out of Elon, as far as they're concerned they're not tanking their sites, their cleaning out the "liberal brain rot" and the easily controlled userbase will stay while the others will move on or stay but actively fight until ultimately also leaving or worse, assimilation.

It all boils down to narcissists/fascists in power don't want to be challenged, they just want obedience and acceptance, they want echo chambers.

If it was a single action on a single company then I might agree. Elon's done some stuff, Twitter being only the latest, that shows a trend of...well maybe not stupidity, but it does seem to be flailing around of a rich person without a clue. He seems more of a wealthy tool than one of the higher ups making the plan.

I suspect it's related to higher interest rates and greater need from their investors to start turning a healthy profit now. they're desperate and making rash moves in an attempt to bring in money and cut costs
