A lot of reporters want to talk about Elon and Twitter. Instead of responding to them, I'll just post something here and see if they can find it. It will be good practice for them in using Mastodon.

I think it will be a relief to Elon to go back to focusing on cars and rockets. Those are arguably more important problems anyway. And he could still do good things for Twitter too, if he hires the right CEO.

@paulg if enough Twitter hub users leave and the network collapses, and Mastodon helps create a better Internet, Lonnie will likely claim that was his intent the whole time. A $44bn self sacrifice for the greater good.

@descartes @paulg I would still welcome it. It would have been a worthy 44bn sacrifice after all.
