You are right on why he bought it. But he then got funding from outsiders who would benefit from it's transition away from effective gathering and communicating space

    Yeah. I think MUSK bought it because it sounded cool and he got suckered into it. I think he got the funding for it because the people who funded him (like the Saudis) saw an opportunity to get an easy mark to break the system for them.

    If you remember leading up to him claiming he wanted to buy it he kept claiming it was constantly blocking free speech and essentially calling it a propaganda machine. He made the claims about wanting to buy it because he was claiming he would fix it and run it better.

    Then went on to limit free speech, and use it as a propaganda machine. While shedding a lot of users and worth for the company
