Unfortunately that was his task. Twitter was a pivotal tool in the Arab spring, second largest investor in Twitter after musk were the Saudis. Musk is such a try hard wannabe goon that when the "real" money told him they'd think he was cool if he bought and fucked up Twitter (and they would totally let him ride dirtbikes with them when he was done!) he jumped at the chance.
I honestly believe that he was backed into a corner and this was his out. His mouth wrote checks he literally couldn't cash, and when he was forced to fork over the money, the spiteful little shit was like "Ok, well these oligarchs would like to see Twitter festroyed anyway, so let's do that."
Yes and no, he didn't want it as much as he wanted the attention. When he was trapped, they told him they'd be buddies and directly/indirectly support his other projects if he played ball. Plus, they all probably have the true depth on his Epstein stuff and they all wave kompromat over each other's heads and threaten with a smile.
Make no mistake, Musk is an oligarch wannabe. He is just like all of them — greedy, self-serving, self-righteous cunts. The world will be far better off when they no longer exist.
You don't become a billionaire without having those personality traits.
I agree completely. I just wonder why anyone argues that he's not obviously trying to actively destroy Twitter.
Yeah I’m pretty sure that was shown to be the case (people who knew him reporting that he lamented twitter’s “wokeness”, wanted to do something about it, and how he railed against his own trans child).
He is, in every sense of the word, a douchebag.
So anyone who argues the opposite is either in on the agenda or sucking his probably-tiny genitalia — or both.
Yes, it was an attack on journalism
Relying on private corp tools is not sustainable. We can’t expect our oppressors help us break the chains.
Yes AND, until we have a better and wholly adopted FOSS, decentralized alternative, you actually need something more mainstream in these big moments unfortunately.
You can just say the ideal out loud and pat yourself on the back, but it doesn't actually solve for the problem.
