Fair, but thinking about it - is there any way he could make Twitter worse than it currently is?

He could platform ISIS, North Korea, the Taliban, the ATF, Mossad, and Xi Jinpeng....

He could tacitly endorse the exposure of developing minds to extreme degeneracy and explicit sexual content...

He could declare war on the English language, the scientific method, and peaceful dialogue...

He could refuse to silence literal calls for genocide while banning people for objecting to the same...

Never mind, Twitter's current management already beat him to all of those.

is there any way he could make Twitter worse than it currently is?

I suppose he could reinstate the 140 character limit, though that might actually help break people's illusion that the platform has any valuable dialogue whatsoever.

Make twitter completely uncensored, while requiring real names and ID verification, which Elon has indicated he supports, so that employers, banks, and government institutions can find and punish wrong thinkers more efficiently. It'd be a Hundred Flowers Campaign.

Yes. If people stop leaving Twitter, there will be less adoption of alt tech like Gab or Mastodon.

Twitter has a huge advantage via the network effect and even with the rampant censorship they still haven't overplayed their hand and sabotaged their product ala Digg has.

The legendary Digg exodus has never repeated with any other social media platform. Looks like it happened before the elites started attacking social media competitors.

The reddit exodus is still underway. It's not quite as dramatic, but it's happening. Facebook is failing to hook the younger generation too.

Is there a site that's taking in most of the reddit emigrants? Facebook began to be irrelevant as soon as IG came out, but the Zucc also owns IG so yeah. The bleeding edge for zoomers is TikTok though.
