Musk is undeniably just trying to run twitter into the ground at this point.

Much like the case of Reddit, Musk might want to reflect on who actually produces all the content he's guarding so jealously, and ask himself what's likely to happen to the value of his site if he makes it difficult for millions of us to write all his content for free

I think he just wants a private club with all the people already inside on a familiar and well respected platform imo, he just doesn't realize that his 5 minutes of fame are over, people see for who he really is.

I'm convinced he just wanted to tweak the algorithm, so everyone could see and appreciate his tweets, flooding them with stars and retweets

I don't think this is that complicated. The hypothesis Musk and Spez are pursuing is that right wingers are easier to monetize because they are stupid. They are basically purging the old, liberal web2.0 userbase, under the premise that they are going to build back something which is more friendly to the conservative social media space.

He just wants a private club with a familiar venue. He knows people like twitter, so he buys it for himself to play king among the plebs and rubbing it into the faces of his "critics" who truly know who he is. Sometimes I wonder if he actually acknowledges the outside world at all since his 5 minutes of fame. Anyways, the emperor has no clothes, and his self destruction is highly entertaining.
