I'd love to see the investment banks start to call their loans that financed this purchase in the first place.

I used to keep a couple of bookmarks of people I liked to follow to view on Nitter; now I don't even care about that mostly because the most of them left Twitter.
Maybe, but I don't think Musk is running twitter for money. He's probably doing what every billionaire is doing. Buying media to shape public opinion. Turning twitter right leaning to build public support for conservative policies that will benefit his other business is probably the play.
Why worry losing 20bn when he could gain 50bn for SpaceX(SeX. Just seen that...) and Tesla? Sounds like a good return on investment.

When the Japanese Earthquake information twitter account was throttled a few days ago, after the earthquake, there seemed to be this general realisation that they were not going to be able to use it for disaster communication any more....
Not sure things would look much different if Twitter was intentionally destroyed.

As easy as it is to hate what he did to Twitter I wonder how much of that original value was just "VC hype" and now people see it for the failure it has always been like all social media in a way. Turns out it's pretty hard making money out of non paying users.

I bet he'll rename it to "SEX" sooner or later

The number of monthly users of X dropped by 15% in the first year since Musk’s takeover amid concerns over a rise in hate speech on the platform.
And in September, the European Union issued a warning to Musk after it found that X had the highest ratio of disinformation posts of all large social media platforms.
That disclosure would cover the fallout from a number of major companies pulling advertising on X after Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory, the New York Times reported.
Since the takeover Musk has reinstated a number of people previously banned from the platform, including former president Donald Trump and the rightwing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Trump is facing more than 90 criminal charges stemming from subversion of the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden, retention of government secrets after his presidency and hush-money payments to porn actor Stormy Daniels.
Meanwhile, Jones recently proposed to pay $55m over 10 years to the Sandy Hook families who sued him for spreading lies that the 2012 schoolhouse killings in Newtown, Connecticut, were part of a hoax meant to force the US to accept gun control.
