Musk might very well be just a useful idiot to kill a platform that was globally connecting people for positive, political change. Twitter played crucial roles in bringing down Mubarak in Egypt, in the Euromaidan and elsewhere.

40 billion dollars is just two years of Gazprom profits.

"kill a platform" is an overstatement, isn't it? I follow several dozens people at twitter and they are all there, posting regularly as before. Honestly, I didn't notice any degradation of twitter during Musk era. There is Andrew Tate shitposting now, and for a few hours twitter logo was changed to Doge, but what else?
Did you not notice the huge increase in abuse against green, tolerant or otherwise progressive people (fascists like to call them "woke")?
