Elon Musk tweeted on his official account on Sunday that Twitter would be changing its logo to an “X” and that all the birds will be disappearing from the platform.
Been saying it for a while, but his plan was to run it into the ground all along. Who is he buddy-buddy with in public? The Saudi’s and the Russians, who both have an interest in seeing Twitter burn to the ground. He started by laying off people, not paying their bills, and making stupid brand decisions. This has been the plan all along and there’s really no other logical explanation. 44 billion is nothing to the Saudis and Russian oligarchs if it takes away a key tool for organized dissent and the spread of western ideals.
Don’t give him too much credit. Elon is transparently too terminally online to be destroying Twitter because that’s his goal. He didn’t even actually mean to buy it until he was forced to.
Pay 54 billion dollars to utterly destroy a platform which gave normal people the ability to effectively spread information about the wrongdoing of the upper class, and which often promoted that very information.
That’s why he did this, he knows it’s killing g Twitter and wants it dead.
Pay 44 billion for a brand, then change it. Pure genius.
Pay billions for a userbase, then drive away the ones that aren’t Nazis or bots.
An X looks like a swastika if you only add half the seriffs

@MeetInPotatoes You are giving him too much credit.
@hedge @ag_roberston_author @potpie
I guess, but I honestly thought he would be better at pretending to make good decisions.
Brand and user base. Destroy both
@boredtortoise And last, destroy the technology. Mission completed.

Yeah, he was just trying to manipulate stocks and a judge made him follow through.
Yeah Musk is malicious but I’ll give this one to incompetence
Sell the servers on eBay to the homelabbers lmao

Exes. Elon has too many of those, too.
Crusades?
Cross words?
Xits?
