I know this is all just Elon’s ineptitude on full display, but there is still part of me that thinks he was paid by certain governments to tank the platform.

If you want to understand his action look at those who paid for him to act.

My guess is RoE is supposed to be Return on Investment (RoI)

I mean, it’s possible they want to do that on a global scale, which isn’t something they can easily do by themselves, unlike banning it just in their own country.

If I understand the news on the matter clearly, he still has one last appeal to overturn his purchase. I think he’s hoping to reverse Twitter back to the old owners in a demolished state as a middle finger.

Imagine being out of the loop and then being faced with the prospect of downloading “X - Blaze your glory!” when it comes up randomly in your search for twitter.

Fucking trainwreck.

Come on Elon change the domain. Just do it, it’ll be fine! SEO will be fantastic!

Kind of a pointless stunt if he doesn’t change the domain. What’s even the point of rebranding when your URL points to the old one. Can this clown do anything right? How he became the next messiah to millions will always elude me.

It would even be better if they remove all references to twitter on the app stores so the X app doesn’t come up when searching for twitter.
