I’ve been saying this for a while and have been called a conspiracy nut; or at minimum that it’s “unrealistic”.

Well. Sweet vindication.

You got vindicated by a random user on a platform full of people with rather extreme views. If you say that anywhere else - you'll still be a conspiracy nut. It's not clear what he's doing or why, one can only guess (or create conspiracies if you will)

Likewise. The guy is obnoxious, but you'd have to be pretty dense to believe he wants Twitter to succeed by any conventional metric.
