It isn't a Twitter clone built for the sake of it.

This is Meta wanting data for its LLMs aware of the latest trends and news-worthy events as they happen. Probably generate ad videos and banners on-the-fly, even?

I'm pretty sure they started this project because they saw weakness in Elon's Twitter and wanted to pounce on the opportunity.

Then the LLMs got popular and maybe they think they can use the content for LLMs too.
