"Excellent", responds Musk to himself.

Musk looks at Facebook and Nextdoor... "WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!"

Never heard of Nextdoor. What is that?

I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It's good for knowing what's going on in your community.

Also good for finding out how many racists live near you.

Nextdoor? Is misinformation really being spread on a physical community app? "We had a package thief last week. I know they're tied to Hunter Biden and the Democrats! MAGA 2024!!!!"

Oh, you would be shocked. Lots of vaccine disinfo for example.

I mean, someone needs to engage with the bots on that platform and he's certainly not going to pay someone else to do it.
