Might literally be the case because of the World Cup happening on Sunday/Monday.

If Musk had some brains, he’d probably have delayed all this bullshit to occur in a typically quiet period but he’s doing his best imitation of that South Korean mayor that tanked the entire country’s bond market because he wanted to make a point to not pay for his predecessor’s excesses.

The hellsite was also a critical way for oppressed people's to spread information, so it will likely do more harm than good. It was on the of the chief ways that Ukraine fought Russian' misinformation.

There's a reason Right Wing groups wanted to control it or get rid of it.
