Really the Ye thing doesn’t matter because I under minded my own argument :-) I think all those terrible things are coming but he’s going to thread the needle around discoverability to make it palatable. Too much chaos isn’t good for anyone even bad actors if the site becomes irrelevant, but we’ll see, I’m not super convinced youre wrong. Maybe Twitter has enough momentum to stay in the public eye in spite of itself.
As for Musk, he's playing with other people's money. At that scale he can afford to tell the American banks to go fuck themselves. The foreign investors are probably cheering on this nonsense. The Saudis want pro-oil republicans, the Russians are going to relish the chaos, and at the very least the Chinese will cheer on the loss of a TikTok competitor. There aren't a lot of guardrails here.
