@rbreich He is destroying that platform, deliberately and with intention.

@Daniel_Berky The only question is whether Musk has a vision for rebuilding Twitter, deliberately wants to destroy it, or is just a twit who will fail by mistake. The jury’s out, but my money is a combination of one and three.

@KimSJ @Daniel_Berky i personally don't think it's an accident... Someone like Musk is dangerous, socially, politically, ideologically. Personally, I feel we should assume intent behind his actions. I would bet the end game ultimately isn't about Twitter's success as a business. It's a long-con so to speak in which he remakes Twitter and (at least to his mind) reshapes the global conversation to suit his personal vision and that of those who help inflate his ego or who he can intellectually or financially manipulate in ways which benefit him personally. Also, in the same way that Trump saying the crude things he said regularly helped to normalize that behaviour on a wide scale in both day to day and professional occasions, I think Elon's constant bullying and trolling will be more legitimized by the echo chamber he is seeking to create. 😵‍💫 .... Or maybe I put on my tinfoil hat too early this morning idk.

@missazuragrace I think you’re at least partially correct. Elon has a plan, almost certainly hatched in discussion with some of his technocratic mates. I just don’t think he’s capable of executing it, any more than Trump is. But my goodness these people can cause mayhem in the mean time.
