I'm sticking with my theory that #ElonMusk bought #Twitter to dismantle it. Despite its many problems, Twitter had become a powerful tool for common people to educate and organize—two things the right absolutely cannot have. Losing over 20 billion of value in mere months is beyond disastrous. I can't imagine a metric that shines a positive light on this acquisition—unless the goal is to silence people. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/04/24/the-twitter-blue-apocalypse-is-nigh
