For some reason, none of the 2,000 word articles talking about Elon's power grab mention that he destroyed ~80% of Twitter's value.
Like, wtf have you all been hyperventilating about "DOGE" when destroying value is Elon's immediate precedent?

That the site no longer has the same dollar value is irrelevant to whether it was an “efficient” use of his capital.
Forest/trees.
They paid for this, he is the Trojan horse
To destroy Twitter was only affecting the twitterers & the move from there to bluesky will clean that up. We don’t have any plan B if the US goes to shit.
IF you evaluate it in terms of destroying Twitter as a great platform upon which to get news and organize, while making it proficient at spreading misinformation, and providing elon with a place to mess with people: priceless!
And yet his “boss” is able to convince half of all voters that he’s a great businessman.
He spent Twitter’s value and bought a country.
We've seen this act before, but for some reason, we're witnessing a media cave to just going along like being played is their job.
Hard pass.
He's despicable.
He bought a propaganda outlet so he could own the president. It was successful and he's richer than he's ever been.
He then destroyed Twitter's value pursuing his vision, but outside conditions gave him an opportunity to put it to a different use.
No planning just luck.

Americans have been gaslit.
The massive layoffs and losses to investors don’t matter. He used Twitter to gain control of the government and his net worth has approximately doubled since.
That’s value for Elon, which is all that matters to him
What do you think the purpose of those 2,000 word articles are? To communicate with Elon, or someone else?
Trying a few to see what sticks. Pls pass it on.

Owning communication platforms (TV, social media, newspaper) gives that owner POWER.
It's not about the money.
An article failing to report truth, honesty and reality?
Pieces of random facts are often used to deny, deflect, manipulate and misrepresent bigger picture truths.
