I thought this was a revenge play for Musk and he planned to destroy it. He blamed Twitter for his child at least he really seemed to leading up to the purchase. A bigger Hulk vs Gawker.
But even a degraded social media platform is more powerful than owning an entire sports league.
It has been interesting seeing the people who were brainwashed for the last decade waking up to see the ground truth though that Twitter isn’t real life. It’s a lot like alcohol, your problems will still be waiting for you when you sober up.
No it's not a revenge play. A single letter domain is worth a king's ransom and this particular letter lives in his head rent-free; he wouldn't drop that anywhere just for nothing. Elon is obsessed with the mythology of X and wants to build an empire. He wants to own transportation, energy and communication and build some backbone to digital society.
Of course it is. People claim Elon never wanted twitter, and that he was interested in trimming it up and selling it. It's my view that now that he has mated it with his beloved x brand, this is just not the case.

Exactly. We have not learned anything once again. Drinking a different brand of alcohol is not quitting the addiction and outrage, so replacing a social network like Twitter or migrating to another social network isn't the solution.
It is just a stop-gap temporary solution before the nastiness arrives. When more people start discovering a new platform, the outrage will inevitably manifest and continue from there, bringing in all the same problems with the added dopamine addiction.
Deleting all social media accounts for good is the proper solution.
