I feel it’s primarily a platform for Elon to cultivate bagholders for his various enterprises. The whole white supremacist cosplay just a method to filter to the most gullible audience looking for a strong leader.

Not sure how Cathy woods as the Queen of bagholders fits in there but there’s probably a connection.

I think that’s an overly optimistic view of it. While I don’t doubt that there’s a component of it, it also very much feeds into musk’s pathological need for attention and flattery: the marks angle could explain signal boosting the worst idiots (though I’m not convinced), it does not explain the cringy, juvenile, and usually off-mark meme attempts (or uncredited reposting, complete with flying off the handle when that’s remarked on).

I think that's just him. I think he's just an immature manchild clinging to a sense of relevance and youth, and Twitter gave him the opportunity to show his ass in a way we just didn't see before. Almost everything he does on the platform gives off a strong "hello fellow kids" vibe.

A high pass filter eventually making any non mark leave ?
