Looks like BlueSky and Threads are doing their damage.

Mastodon is pretty good too I hear :-)

My favorite theory is that's is for middle eastern investment. Twitter highest per capita usage is in like Saudi Arabia, not the US. That's where the value of the platform lives, the people he gets a huge portion of his investments from.

Saudis were in on Twitter before Elong though, so it's somewhat unfair to judge them or Elon on this.

Elon did keep the Saudis on while proclaiming free speech though. So there's one tidbit we can fairly criticize on the subject.

Yeah exactly! I think that may be the point I was trying to make. Saudi per capita use of Twitter was high and before and after he bought it. Elon has always been both hyper aware of and needful of Saudi investment.

So not a criticism, more and impetus that makes sense to me. But I also think you're right about a lot of post-hoc reasoning for a bad decision.
