Is this satire like the onion?

...getting a lot of buzz, much of it tentatively hopeful

Yes, everyone is "tentatively hopeful" about the guy who torpedoed twitter, losing 80% of value in only two years, and turned it into hub of misinformation and hate.

Surely the richest man in the world has priorities that align with America.

That's a narrative!

Wow.

    Well, regardless of whether or not you think he did a bad job with Twitter, you gotta admit he changed things up. So yeah, I think it will be fun seeing what he cuts.

    Also, pretty funny that you talk about how it's a hub of misinformation and hate now, but I think it was that way before he bought it. The old regime at twitter blocked conservative accounts, and posted plenty of misinformation.

    I like what he did with it.

    But to your point, from a business point of view, maybe not so great. He lost a shitton of advertisers. But she sure as fuck changed things. And I want him to do the same with a lot of federal agencies!

    But meh, I like Musk. Even tho I am against most capitalists, I think the shit he stirs up is pretty funny.
