Even if we put aside all of the negative associations Musk has created with X, ranging from neo-Nazis to CSAM, it's just a bad product now. The algorithm's promotion of content is profoundly inorganic, making both creators and readers miserable. It's a website designed for Elon Musk alone.

That’s what Trump has done x5. Elon’s problem is that he wasn’t trying to do that, he just didn’t understand the business he bought.
He silenced the commons and amplified his voice. It served its purpose.
They don't seem to be shaken or to have lost confidence in his enterprises
This makes sense if it is all going according to plan.

Too bad money can't hide pathetic. It's obvious.
