Twitter stock won't be worth 44 cents by the end of next week.

I don't disagree, but Twitter's entire corporate structure is effectively complicit in defrauding advertisers. Profitability aside, just how useful can they be to the elite now that Musk has forced them to reveal that? They'll be in and out of court for years.

This is a major black eye to the establishment, and it's one they should have been able to prevent by preventing Musk's takeover effort in the early stages.

There is also a tendency on the right to characterize the globalist cabal as a hyper-competent network of Machiavellian evil geniuses playing 6-d Chess, but the reality is that they are desperately floundering, often incompetent, and generally scrambling to cover over their failures before they become too obvious. The only thing they really have going for them is their effectively unlimited resources. It won't be sustainable forever.

I have to disagree on this specific point, solely because they know that the average dumbfuck doesn't want to accept reality even if it stares them in the face, because it's too bitter of a pill to swallow. Denial is their coping mechanism of choice, and I think the elites know that. So while they put some effort into denial, it's more like a literal handwave, which is apparently enough for the vast, vast majority of normies.

Otherwise, I agree with the other points.

That’s the only reason Twitter’s still going. It generates all kinds of money, just not as a company itself.

What other reason does it need?

Maybe it's even better for them now. He brought thousands of right-wing and independent users back to the platform, and they even conveniently unbanned many who had been previously banned without warning. Many of those people will lazily stay on it, generating more activity for them.
