That's his goal. It always has been. He was forced to buy. His solution? The world's biggest tax write off. Yet everyone is determined to keep him in the news like he actually cares about it.

His interview certainly lent some additional weight to the theories that he's been trying to run the company into the ground the whole time.
Yep, and it will. I predict within 3 years.
Of course it can. And it probably will. But that's what the plan was since the get.

It was morally bankrupt shortly after Seth McFarlane left too long under a heat lamp took over. In addition to all his other failings, Elon looks like McFarlane jerky.

I think Twitter is going down, may or may not go bankrupt but I think it will lose relevance. Wonder if it will be replaced. Lots of people (myself included) kinda assume that bluesky, mastodon or some other twitter-like service will take over. But Twitter is not really necessary, so I don't think it's a given that something will take its place.
As a time sink, more multimedia-oriented platforms like Reddit/Lemmy, Instagram, Tiktok or Youtube, seem more attractive.
The one big benefit I enjoyed with Twitter was following artists and scientists I would never have had such casual access to learn from in any other way. Being able to watch pros in their fields talk about their topics was something I never would have had access to. And because it's short form folks were more likely to post than on a blog or something.
Without social media the shop talk goes entirely behind closed doors, which is a loss for my ability to casually learn.

It's well on it's way
couldn't he just step down as CEO or sell the company? he could also delete his account. I imagine all of these things would make advertisers happy.

Let's hope it doesn't, I don't want those racist idiots joining any of the other social networks. Let it become the acceptable 4chan.... to siphon off the scum of the internet so that we don't have to deal with them.
If he doesn't do something about the blatant racism on Twitter, I could see this happening. If he does do this, all the shit stains like Tim Pool will start spouting off about how the platform doesn't support "free speech."
