It feels like twitter is like a water tank that has a lot of holes and Elon is trying to put duct tape on those holes all at the same time to contain the water. Scrambling around not knowing what to do having only two hands and a million hole to patch with a tape that doesn't even stick. Run that through your head πŸ˜‚

More like he's running around with a gun and shooting new holes into the water tank instead of trying to seal anything.

Shooting new holes in the water tank so the water doesn't leak out of the existing holes as fast

Ha that's a brilliant analogy, and I bet he concludes it's partially working, he just needs to do more of the same.

I see Twitter as a ship too big to maneuver. Then one day it got bought and a new captain comes aboard. He deliberately breaks the hull here and there to make the ship lighter and more agile, and also fired half of the hands on deck. The ship's taking on water faster now. He also painted over her name. Despite all this, the majority of souls on board would rather sink with the ship than jump overboard.

That's good for a shorstory film to be honest. Lol

And, he’s pissing and shitting in the tank, and inviting other pissers and shitters back to the tank.
