What the fuck did Elon buy, at this point?
He fired the employees.
He threw out the code.
He yanked plugs on the physical servers.
He forgot to pay for the virtual servers.
He started rent protest for the office space.
He deleted the brand the way Malcolm X deleted his surname.
If he’d just started a Twitter competitor, with blackjack and doxxing, the only difference would be that Twitter was a bit quieter.
If he’d bought Twitter, the hellsite, and then burned it to the ground as a weird flex, the only difference would be slightly more people using Mastodon.
And in both cases nobody would know he’s a complete crybaby. We’d just harbor strong suspicions.
Basically Elon wants to clone WeChat, Chinas all in one app. He could have started from scratch and had an uphill battle with Twitter as the largest competing company or do this instead.
His PR was already getting shitty before buying Twitter, so he pivoted with his rich boy money like always.
He purchased it , destroying it as a competitor for his X website. He gave X recognition immediately as a platform, and hoping that he retains the partial user base of Twitter as the initial backbone for the app he wanted to build in the first place.
Because that’s what fascists do, delete competition
That’s not facism, that’s just regular ol’ capitalism 👍
