More like Elon was more interested in ruining one of the most popular was us poor people had to unite against the likes of people like Elon. I don't think he's smart enough to make that call on his own so I'm pretty sure he's under the direction of someone else.

Seems awful weird to me that twitter, facebook, and Reddit have all had similar types of issues recently and resulted in dramatic user loss. It's not coincidence, and it's not for the face value reasons, it's to remove our ability to organize against them.

Musk is an idiot who bought Twitter stock, tried to pump and dump, waived due diligence as part of the pump, and found himself contractually obligated to buy the company. Everything since then is what Musk thinks are good ideas.

yeah there is no master plan he is simply an idiot.

I think the “enshittification” theory is a more likely explanation.

Yeah, no reason to attribute to malice that which can be explained by simple greed.
