I think if the CEO hadn’t been waging culture war, the respectable opinion would be that this is fine temporarily as they get the totally new workforce and infrastructure situation sorted. In context with what really smart people were saying about how Twitter would respond to Musk’s changes, though, I think it’s a spectacular success. (Which doesn’t really change how I feel about the culture war stuff.)

If the now-CEO-and-primary-owner wasn’t committed to waging culture war, the purchase wouldn’t have happened. It’s not an unrelated occurrence.

I’m well aware and agree.

It feels far too early to draw much of a conclusion. I’ve left stuff hanging around for years without it falling over, but not been happy about it. I’m sure we all have. The point is that eventually you need to touch it, and nobody knows how it works, and it’s covered in cobwebs. That sort of stuff just takes time to happen.
