“Musk’s project…is best understood not as a money-making endeavor, but as an extended act of cultural vandalism… at its core, Musk’s misadventure at Twitter has been reactionary: an ideological purge of the employees he saw as “woke” and entitled; a gleeful inversion of industry standards around content moderation; a hollowing out of the free product; and a redistribution of the company’s attention and wealth toward right-wing users.” — Casey Newton #Twitter #x #ElonMusk #SocialMedia #BillionaireFolly #ElonIsAWanker #CulturalVandalism #DigitalVandalism
