What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? - NBC News
The three texts were sent on April 4, 2022. In the nearly 18 months since then, many of the decisions Musk made after he bought Twitter appear to have closely followed that road map, up to and including his ongoing attacks against the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit organization founded by Jewish Americans to counter discrimination.
The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”
The messages from the unknown sender were revealed in a court filing last year as evidence in a lawsuit Twitter brought against Musk after he tried to back out of buying it. The redacted documents were unearthed by The Chancery Daily, an independent legal publication covering proceedings before the Delaware Court of Chancery.
The wording of the texts matches the subtitles of the article, “The Battle of the Century: Here’s What Happens if Elon Musk Buys Twitter,” which had been published three days earlier on the right-wing website revolver.news.
He's following a stupid right wing plan to screw it up. It's all on purpose.
I said that from the beginning, but lots of people are so enamored by Musk they can't see the trees for the forest.
Here's a novel idea, stop using Twitter.
You still engaged. You already lost.
We’re currently losing, even more, by continuing to talk about it.
Let it die out after it steeps in whatever juices are left from their water-emptying experience at the swamp
Musk is a master of finding the most backwards ass way to go about trying to solve a problem.
Usually by removing something that mostly works and replacing it with a shitty version of things that have already failed.
Musk isn't fit for the purpose he's assigned himself, yet here we are ... again and again and again.
Gotta disagree. Community notes are the best thing they've added to Twitter in years. I love it.
