I'm convinced that Elon Musk is destroying Twitter on purpose. Like I can't even believe that he's just that colossally stupid to nuke a company that he just bought from orbit out of incompetence.

No, I really think he spent forty-four billion dollars, regardless of whose money it was, into burning Twitter to the ground out of his own volition. It's just so catastrophic that it has to be with intent.

I have no evidence for this and am completely pulling it out of my rear end, but god drat it just feels like it makes more sense than it being out of sheer stupidity.

How bad does it have to get for the folks on H1B visas to bail out and roll the dice on getting another job before their visa expires?

I've gotten caught up in the potential sudden death of Twitter (gently caress you, I love Twitter), but until Twitter just becomes utterly unusable or just unbearable, inertia is going to keep people from giving up on it.

I mean, I can kick and scream and yell to try as hard as I can to peel off people I know from Facebook to anything else, but they're not at all interested enough to migrate to another platform, despite their similar feelings toward Facebook.

Also, Musk is the type of guy to include cans of Coke in the picture because he wants to hint that he's doing lines.

What is it going to take to actually kill off Twitter? A lot of us speculated that it would be wrecked by the end of the year, but it's still truckin'. Is it going to take bankruptcy and the company being parted out?

I suppose what I mean is kill Twitter dead and the whole thing goes offline, but I didn't consider the more likely fate of it getting bought out and/or transitioning into something else. MySpace lives, but I think they saw the writing on the wall and knew they couldn't compete with Facebook and transitioned into a music-related service.

There's a cohort on Twitter that loathes Mastodon because its culture isn't full of angry leftist shitposting, calling it niceposting.

What compelled Twitter to sue Musk? Was he just at a point of no return?

I'm convinced that Musk's entire mission in life is to get revenge on Peter Thiel et al.
