Honestly, I really wonder if he's actually ASD, or just NPD and was misdiagnosed [or else he's lied about it because everyone knows, if you aren't NV then you're a genius, right?]

Oh dear! So unexpected! Who knew?!
Oh, please. He's charging $8/month for free speech, meaning that those who have money have free speech. As if the world needs more of that.

Some of Twitter's draws were real-time news and the ability for groups to organize gatherings/protests, including in countries where such things are illegal or dangerous. It would be outright dangerous for those folks to have his little blue checkmark.

He's yet another billionaire who thinks that he should be running the world, that his visions and beliefs are the only valid ones.

I hope Twitter goes down. Something new will arise and will work for a short time before the rich take that over, as well. I would really love to see him lose his investment.

Also, it's a complete lie. Musk will absolutely continue to monetize the hell out of subscribers' data. His promise wasn't "no ads if you pay", it was "half as many ads".

I think that, like Zuckerberg, he is an example of the old saying, "Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad." That or the related idea of hubris being closely followed by nemesis.

It is, unfortunately, not true, lol. Elon it seems was so afraid of hijinks of that sort that all of the laid-off people had their access revoked before they were formally notified they were laid off. Some of them have said they were like remotely logged off mid-task, and that was basically the first sign that they were axed.
