Theory: Twitter was purchased with the express intent of tanking it to prevent its usefulness as an information dissemination tool before the election (just as TikTok is targeted.) Younger people use TikTok as an organizing tool, as the older uses Twitter. Spoutible is more important than ever now.

This theory also demonstrates exactly how much money the fascists are willing to throw at keeping the general public ill-informed and disenfranchised.

Counter theory: Dorsey manipulated Musk into purchasing the dead bird because it was already on its way out as a platform. Tiktok is targeted but only so Bluesky can eclipse it. Musk takes the blame, Dorsey gets a rebrand.

The sexy explanation is rarely the correct one.

I think this is 100% true.
The threat to the billionaire class is that we ARE stronger together.
Musk is ok to front it, but others are behind him.
His push to put AI into humanoid bots is part of it at least in my spidey-sense.

Absolutely Agree: those billionaires hated the connection us Tweeps were making, & considered those BlueDemTies throughout the world one of their biggest threats!

Less interactive, but I don’t discount it.
