Just shut the fucking business down already. It's clear that they cannot meet their debt (accrued through a leveraged buyout, the same practice that killed Toys R Us), and in the meantime they're accumulating lawsuits knowing full well that they will never have to pay out because they'll fall under long before the lawsuits are heard, let alone resolved. Meanwhile, anything they do get away with in the meantime becomes something of an established precedent for future bad actors.

Doubt he's going to shut it down before the elections. Perfect time for Musk to do the most damage.

There are a number of bad actors who I'm sure would love to pay into TwitX for the ability to push propaganda, etc. It may be worth it to Misk himself to just keep footing the bill as well for that reason alone.

I doubt there's much chance of it going under anytime soon.

That is undoubtedly the plan. Musk is too much of a greedy cuntbag to be doing this out of childish obstinance.

I don't think he's greedy, so much. Just self-absorbed and very motivated.

Also a cubtbag.
