    Great article, but this: “One thing the prior Twitter management didn’t do is actively make things worse. ” Is dead wrong.

    Twitter was always a problem, though in the earlier days it was just annoying, both before and after Trump they actively set everything on fire for money. And they know it. It took an armed insurrection to finally kick him off, and even that was “temporary”.

    No wonder they all shat themselves with glee when Elmo dumped 45 billion on them and told them to gtfo. They were going to crash anyway. Dumbass.

      Oh man, they were so happy Muskrat bailed them out. I mean, hell, they went to court to make sure the purchase went through.
