And no interest in thinking about why they're down ~50% in advertising revenue.

I still think the "saudi's paid elon to nuke it" was a solid conspiracy theory.

When you think about it, there were a lot of populist movements growing through Twitter. It probably pissed a lot of wealthy, powerful people off.

Then Musk and Zuckerberg were called to private meetings with the president, weren't they? And Twitter was taken over and shut down. Then Threads, owned by Facebook who is known to help out law enforcement quite happily as well as track everything, takes off as an alternative.
