Twitter is garbage. Stop using it and bankrupt Elon. Stop driving his lousy cars too.

I think there are a couple of things going on here: 1) he so desperately wants to be seen as cool and funny, it’s borderline pathetic. He knows the surest way to any popularity is by firing the up the right with idiotic troll posts, no matter the actual consequences. It’s teenage edgelord stuff. Since most of the people who love these tweets have the emotional maturity and general intelligence of a dimwitted 5 year old, it works. He can bask in the millions of likes he gets. Again, this is ostensibly an adult who thinks 420 and 69 jokes are the epitome of humor. 2) It drives engagement. The aforementioned dummies will smash the like and retweet buttons, and the easily baited left will get on there to argue with them. It’s all in service of Elon Musk and his interests. It has nothing to do with free speech or any other BS he pretends it’s about. Sure, he’s got Asperger’s. But he is also just an absolutely terrible person and simply bad for humanity at large. His Asperger’s doesn’t excuse his terribleness. There are plenty of people on the spectrum who do great work and help others, he is not one of them.
Personally, I think it’s irresponsible to have a Twitter account at this point, especially if you are adamantly against Musk. All of the Alyssa Milano-esque justifications of staying on to supposedly “fight the good fight” are simply rationalizations for not wanting, for one reason or another, to give up Twitter. If everybody who opposed Twitter 2.0 just deleted their accounts and stopped engaging, Twitter would crumble under its own poorly managed weight.

Awfully thin skinned little wannabe dictator it seems.
