It seems he goes on binges and then starts doing stupid stuff. Not saying what kind of binges just binges that make you manic and want to break things.

I think the point is to make TWT a show, and then see if the stock rises?
Because otherwise, this is lunacy.

I think the point is to increase the intensity of the spotlight on himself.
I believe that has been his primary intention all along, in everything he has done. He doesn't seem to do anything subtle - like things that don't gain him lots of attention. He makes sure that everything he does is done on the grand stage...

Twitter Suspends Accounts of Half a Dozen Journalists
The social media service, which is owned by Elon Musk, said that it suspends accounts that “violate the Twitter rules” but did not provide details.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/tech ... -musk.html

"Twitter rules" seem to be very fluid. This almost seems like silencing critics, but I know Elon is a free speech absolutist so it can't possibly be that.

Mastodon Migration
@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online
Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

#twittermigration

If Elmo goes through with this all of the new/revived social media platforms will be inundated with new members.

That's the idea, those with enough money can create blocks of verified users that immediately target block/mute certain topics/users to make them less visible. It's literally paying to keep other people quiet. Free speech is passe, paid silencing of others is the rage now

Do these folks post their missives on other platforms or just twitter to antagonize Twitter/Musk solely?

Whatever is being said about the "demise" of TWT, the reality is that it is still the "only" platform that matters.
It is easier to destroy than to build. But some things are very, very hard to destroy. TWT would be one of them.

He's working hard to do that though...
