Evidence? Only what I see:
1) Timing
2) Marc Andreessen
3) Noam Bardin
4) Elon Musk
5) Billionaire chicanery
6) Media "socialite profiteers" (who can't make money on Mastodon) attack the truly free Mastodon as "hard to use", starting in force after birdsite users begin flocking there.
6 is the clincher for me. Give me a break! Mastodon is not hard to use. They just can't make money on it because it is truly free speech.
A couple of billionaire buddies of Elon Musk decide they want to create a social media platform under a relatively new profit model: micro-subscriptions.
Only one problem: Twitter.
Elon says, "Hold my beer," but he is way too soon.
Elon then delays the purchase of Twitter as long as he can while the buddies prepare the new platform.
18 days after Elon finally seals the purchase, promising to "sink" Twitter and creating chaos, the buddies launch Post.News.
