Real talk, at this point it really just seems like a conscious effort at destroying the platform. Musk is definitely a fucking idiot, but there's no way even someone as unintelligent as he is would think this is a remotely "good" way to run a social media website.
I'm convinced now his goal was always to just destroy Twitter.
Honestly, I'm not convinced. I think he's just really that dumb. I showed it to someone else who works in IT and their reaction was that it sounded like a lot of management they've worked with: people who have no idea under god how anything works and refuse to listen to why their idea is functionally terrible. Even if you swear up and down it will ruin the entire product, they want it done now, because they want it.
That seems perfectly in line with the kind of moron I've heard he is.
I think you're dead on. Elon is trying to make Twitter work, but he doesn't understand it at all. He doesn't understand what they're commodifying, who their customers are, or why people use Twitter in the first place.
