  I remain convinced he’s killing it on purpose. I don’t know a plausible motive, but I guarantee it’s on purpose.

    I used to think so too, but I don't know if he is also bad at that because it is taking him longer than I expected.

    The problem with this narrative is that Musk lost money doing so.

    I agree he’s killing it on purpose. Something to do with information control. Him meeting so long at the Superbowl with Rupert Murdoch sure didn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

    He would have done good for the world if he would have just pulled the plug on day one.

    I thought that for a bit, but more and more I think it’s just extreme incompetence. Remember, he wanted X to be a thing for a long time, it’s telling that he wanted it to succeed in that he renamed Twitter to X.

    You think conspiracy theories in general sound reasonable, don’t you

  When the only people I saw there were the leftest lefties I ever saw… then he just alienated all of them

    Elon is a very odd duck, and not at all in a good way.

    What did he do that alienated them?

      Musk isn’t gonna pay you for all these apologetics you’re making in this post

  Twitter was always a very strange place, i know that before musk it has been a super left woke bouble (woke in this case meaning intersectional world view)

  Most people he unbanned didn’t actually come back either. Its just dieing all together.

  He’s making X into a “whites only” platform

  Is there some evidence of this outrageous claim or it is just something that sounded cool in your head?
