I doubt anyone could pay the man enough to blow 40 billion to tank a website. The moment you break something, the users will find a replacement and go there. This purchase was 100% ego. It changed no minds about Elon. His fanboys will still call this genius, and those who already knew he was a manchild are not suddenly thinking this was a mature, well-thought-out plan.

We seem to forget this whole “Imma buy Twitter” was, in part, because Twitter refused to disable the account of the kid that was tracking his jet

The kid that was reposting public flight tracking data of his jet. He’s so fucking petty.
