Don't threaten me with a good time, fucko.
I am more hopeful than this, but not due to anything Musk may do directly.
The mere possibility that they won't utterly dominate discourse on a given platform is enough for them to absolutely lose their shit. I'm talking hair-pulling, REEEEE-screeching, full on impotent bawling in the middle of board meetings and shit.
The ones within the company are absolutely dumb enough to try to stealthmode through the weeding-out process only to immediately get caught trying to intentionally sabotage the company. I know this because it's already happened several times. One way or another, if Musk ever wants to even pretend he can make the platform profitable, he'll have to deal with the shithead activists, monodirectional censorship, and staff members that act as a fifth column. This is not optional and will, no matter what the outcome, benefit everyone else.
Everyone else wins when the Twitter activist core suffers.
