    Because he’s doing everything to make it fail and destroy the platform, isn’t it obvious?

      No, you don’t throw away $44 billion just for shit and giggles, not even if you are as rich as Musk. Musk is (probably) a narcissist who thought he could make it work in his delusional mind.

      He wanted a mouthpiece for the MAGA crowd, and he probably thought the desire in the population for it, would make it succeed, if he made the platform embrace that. He probably envisioned himself as a great liberator, who would be celebrated for bringing free speech back to America.

      Musk has been losing it for a long time, and it seems to only get worse.

    Well, if you take a step back and truly contemplate the multi-dimensional nature of human perception and the intricacies of entrepreneurial endeavors, it becomes a rather perplexing task to fathom how some individuals might arrive at the conclusion that any venture undertaken by Elon Musk is destined for failure. You see, when observing Musk’s track record and his uncanny ability to navigate the treacherous waters of innovation, it’s almost a Herculean task to conceptualize a scenario where his endeavors don’t find some measure of success. Now, the nature of human skepticism and doubt is deeply rooted in our evolutionary psychology, but to cast aspersions on Musk’s enterprises is to perhaps neglect a comprehensive understanding of the broader patterns of success and determination. In essence, it becomes almost a philosophical endeavor to reconcile such doubts with the empirical evidence of Musk’s achievements. One might even venture to say that to believe in his failure is to misinterpret the very essence of transformative innovation and resilience.
