Personally, I'm watching cautiously to see if the functionality degrades. Over the past week I'm noticing that old liked posts are no longer marked as liked, even though they still show up on the feed. I worked software so if I have to imagine how it might work on the backend, they probably have to refresh the cache or the search index, which might've been affected when Elon supposedly took down many of the microservices.
I will admit I find the hostile takeover to be rather unorthodox. But I guess if your primary goal is to purge deadweight instead of ensuring smooth transition, it's not a bad strategy. Time will tell.
I've been a fan of his takeover, it's what I would have done
The only thing that he seems to be struggling with is that this is a business that is far outside of his wheelhouse. He has never made a social media site. There's going to be errors and problems, but securing the institution once you've taken it over, and purging resistance, is the first objective. Even before profitability.
