The serial entrepreneur and world’s richest person seems to be letting his own personal views shape and inform his policies governing use on the platform.
Musk knows that he needs to say/do outrageous things to keep receiving either attention on twitter or free press. He strives to be relevant to those who, for some reason, take him seriously. He’s a pathological liar willing to say whatever ridiculous thing makes him appear as relevant.
exactly this. what a sad and incompetent sack of shit he is.
pleased to see mastodon continuing to grow, because i’m so happy with the content i see on there. i actually enjoy browsing the “explore” tab because unlike twitter, it’s not all drama bait for the sake of driving up engagement statistics to please a board of shareholders. it’s just real people posting cute tidbits about their personal lives
Also to mask the fact that his leveraged buyout of Twitter was always going to kill it. There was never any way the business could support $13bn of debt without further investment, but with Musk acting like a clown most people will think it failed because of his mismanagement, rather than as an intentional strategy to divide the voice of the people.
