    This is the first I’ve heard anyone suggest that Musk’s changes at Twitter somehow improved “the actual experience of what it’s supposed to do.” Although the “x through the administrative state” line proves this is pure, gutless pandering.

    So as usual, he’s not actually as stupid as he sounds, just opportunistic and immoral.

      I mean, if you’re a Nazi, the new Xitter is definitely a better experience. He knows exactly to whom he’s pandering, which is how you get invited back to Fox. There’s going to be a lot of competition for the segment of MAGA that loves the fascism and xenophobia, but worries that Trump is too toxic to win big cities.
