    X (formerly known as Twitter) has become even more of a wild landscape of a social experiment that is particularly centered around one person

      “experiment”… lmao, as if we didn’t all know exactly what would happen if Musk bought twitter, what he would turn it into. Sure, he may surprise us with the absurdly stupid and petty ways he’s doing it, but the end result is still precisely what we all knew he’d do.

        I mean, the shear level that he fucked with fundamental shit, and immediately at that, surprised me.

        I expected him to attention whore, and put himself front and center like Tom from MySpace. I expected him to fuck with accounts of people he didn’t like. And generally to manipulate the content towards his fucked up world view. And that would have been bad enough.

        But to just drop dynamite under the foundation and run away plugging his ears giggling… that was impressively stupid.
