    Apologies, I suppose. I read it as “perhaps, except in Twitters case.”

    I won’t go back to Reddit, but I will lay down, do some reflecting, and cry a bit. Cheers!

      Apology accepted. I also apologise for the tone.


      If you want my opinion on Twitter: I’m not too informed on the platform but I think that he did it on purpose, and due to stupidity. He is a right-wing sociopath and a moron with enough money to become too big to fail.

      A smart but malicious person in Musk’s shoes would’ve likely introduced the changes slowly, boiling the frogs there, shifting the Overton window to the right, in a way that benefits rich people in detriment to everyone else - because that would benefit Musk himself. Twitter as “the international commons” makes it valuable for anyone to spread shitty discourses there, in a way that they reach governments directly.

      But instead of seizing the tool for his own purposes, he broke it.
