    Twitter is being a very Rasputin like problem for Musk. No matter how many times Musk keeps trying to kill it it’ll keep surviving until Musk finally achieves the monumental task of killing it.

      Don’t mind if I ask, but why would Musk try to kill a platform he paid 44bn USD for?

        He wants to declare it as a carryover loss and just stop paying taxes for the foreseeable future.

        I think the original plan was to simply control the narrative and influence public opinion on one of the largest and most well known social media platforms ever created, but that tends to not work so well when you gut the operational engineering staff of a tech company.
