I don't think Elon Musk ever intended to reform Twitter. I think his strategy was to expose it and destroy it without spending a brass razoo.

So far, his plan seems to be working perfectly.

I don’t think he’s done. I believe he always intended to pull his bid — the lawsuits against the board will expose the dirty underside, and will drive the stock price down. Also discovery — eventually, the extent of the bot army and the government’s involvement will be exposed.

Musk will buy at a much lower price. Not sure if the platform will stay as is or will merge with something else. I am absolutely certain that Musk is a grifter and no one’s savior, let alone free speech. He’ll do what’s good for Elon Musk.

You might very well be correct. It’s looking that way.
