There's a desperate urge even for some people who aren't Elon Musk fanboys to assume he must be smart or talented in some way because the richest man in the world being a complete idiot implies something seriously wrong with capitalism.

1. It's almost like he is deliberately destroying Twitter for Trump

Trump loves to destroy those that have “wronged” him in any way. Musk is doing so many idiotic things, it just gives the impression that he’s doing this to give Trump’s Truth Social a chance. I mean, why else is he making these moves????

2. If his goal is ad revenue then he's an idiot.

But if his goal is to destabilize democracy…

3. I think his motives are quite sinister. He seems to be looking for a hate fest to, as you said,

possibly destroy democracy.

4. I'm just means that they were 7500 workers at the place.

Now there’s 3500 and Twitter keeps going on. There must’ve been a lot of people doing the same jobs.

Twitter has gotten worse, quickly, as a result.

6. It's a stupid website. It means nothing.

The next shiny website is on its way. TikTok is the next website to be looked at with a critical eye I hear in the news.

7. That has nothing to do with your bogus assertion. . . .nt

8. Obviously 7500 for one company especially Tech is a bit much

Amazon, Facebook and others are trimming the fat too.

11. Yep, we'll see what develops. I kept my account. n/t
