Tell your revenue stream to go fuck themselves. It's a bold move Elon. Let's see if it pays off.
You’re acting like he wants Xitter to succeed. I suspect he wants it dead because he thinks it contributed to his child being trans. And also because some of his financiers don’t want an Arab Spring.
Edit: Either way he’s a piece of shit.
I used to agree with you, but now I really think he's just a narcissist who wants the attention. If Twitter wasn't profitable, the longer he owns it the more money he's going to lose on top of how much he over paid for it. If he really wanted Twitter gone, he could have bought it and just... shut it off.
Like every single techbro, he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and demands the masses worship him for that. He just was lucky enough to have money to buy an entire platform to stroke his ego.
How about buying a social media platform and making sure everybody sees whatever you say?

If he didn't want it to succeed, he wouldn't have rebranded it the same exact way he tried to rebrand PayPal. He wants this X everything app to be a thing.
There would be much less compromising ways for him to destroy Twitter if that was what he really wanted. He could have left his puppet CEO to do all the ridiculous shit and sit on his real life Iron Man throne only to eventually say "Welp, we tried. Clearly this site was doomed from the start." and shut it down. Which people would have believed before he revealed what a clown he is.
No, no, no, it's not Elon who's out of touch. It's the advertisers who are wrong! Just wait until all of Earth, apparently, hears of how these big mean advertisers killed the wondrous and righteous place named X. There will be outrage!.... so thinks Elon anyway. What a deluded moron.
