If people would just stop using it, and stop treating it like a serious place, no one would give a fuck what musk did. Why does anyone have any expectations that musk will do anything but the worst possible thing? He's cut from the same cloth as Trump. Just figure out what is the worst thing he could possibly do in any given situation and then expect him to do that thing. You won't be surprised and you'll look like god damned Nostradamus.
For example, I predict he will use AI to replace 90% humans responsible for identifying and handling reported tweets, resulting in "accidentally" deleting innocuous tweets posted by people he doesn't like while somehow failing to recognize illegal harassment or CSAM.
I think he might integrate dogecoin with Twitter, making it frictionless to turn cash into crypto, and then accept it to pay for Twitter, increasing the usage and value of it and also essentially earmarking all that money for himself because the easiest way to dispose of dogecoin would be to send it to some other rube or just buy another month of Twitter.
It's like a game of cards against humanity, except every card just says "Elon Musk ___________ Twitter."
