That's his goal. It always has been. He was forced to buy. His solution? The world's biggest tax write off. Yet everyone is determined to keep him in the news like he actually cares about it.

Yep, and it will. I predict within 3 years.

Of course it can. And it probably will. But that's what the plan was since the get.

It was morally bankrupt shortly after Seth McFarlane left too long under a heat lamp took over. In addition to all his other failings, Elon looks like McFarlane jerky.

I was going to say you're doing a disservice to McFarlane by making that comment, but he probably would've found it funny too. Carry on 😁

I think Twitter is going down, may or may not go bankrupt but I think it will lose relevance. Wonder if it will be replaced. Lots of people (myself included) kinda assume that bluesky, mastodon or some other twitter-like service will take over. But Twitter is not really necessary, so I don't think it's a given that something will take its place.

As a time sink, more multimedia-oriented platforms like Reddit/Lemmy, Instagram, Tiktok or Youtube, seem more attractive.

couldn't he just step down as CEO or sell the company? he could also delete his account. I imagine all of these things would make advertisers happy.

If he doesn't do something about the blatant racism on Twitter, I could see this happening. If he does do this, all the shit stains like Tim Pool will start spouting off about how the platform doesn't support "free speech."
