Honestly, I’ve become convinced that the only reason Musk bought Twitter is so that he could have full and complete control of a social network, with the goal of using it to influence public opinion, particularly within the context of elections. It was a power grab. He spent ~$40B so he could influence voters on a massive scale.

He just forgot the part where the service has to… you know… work.
