I honestly can't tell if it's just a collective expiration date for a culture of wealthy incompetence, or if someone's been manipulating powerful idiots, but it almost feels like there's a coordinated effort to stir an abandonment of corporate platforms.

These platforms can be used to organize protests and things like that. It isn't like nobody would have a reason to want something like Twitter gone. There are the conspiracy theories that Musk was paid by the Saudis or whoever to take it down. Is that likely? Honestly the guy seems like a self centered twat, if not a full blown narcissist, and I can't picture him putting on a public spectacle like this intentionally for show because he is making himself look incredibly stupid but I've been wrong before.

If it was just Musk, it would be a lot easier to chalk up to one idiot. But with so many idiots acting in concert? That sounds like somebody's in their ears. Probably without them realizing it.
