I know this is all just Elon’s ineptitude on full display, but there is still part of me that thinks he was paid by certain governments to tank the platform.
If you want to understand his action look at those who paid for him to act.

The thing is though is that anyone who lived through the internet of the 90s into today knows how quickly services come and go and how fast platforms can implode quickly or bleed out slowly into pointlessness. Buying ONE platform to kill it for untold billions of dollars seems like a REALLY bad investment with ZERO ROE. These [Saudis] are the upper echelons of society who can just blanket pass laws to outlaw software or hire the most sophisticated surveillance company [US Based] to backdoor their entire internet infrastructure to monitor those communication channels.
Killing twitter is just dumb and pointless at the end of the day.
Zero Roe, but that was more to do with the supreme Court lol
My guess is RoE is supposed to be Return on Investment (RoI)
If I understand the news on the matter clearly, he still has one last appeal to overturn his purchase. I think he’s hoping to reverse Twitter back to the old owners in a demolished state as a middle finger.
