I believe his main goal is turning Twitter into something of an “everything” site where he’s looking to combine the likes of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, and Venmo/Paypal into a single service. I don’t know if it was his goal when he bought it or if it has any chance in hell of working, but that’s something he at least said (while probably drunk) fairly recently.
so Twitter was vi then he turned it into edlin and now he wants it to be emacs.
Ffs
Yes change the name and iconic logo of a huge corporation, that will go over great.
If he hadn’t demonstrated his incompetence earlier I’d think it was intentional.
I still think there’s a bit of intent to destroy the company but it’s kinda hard to tell.
There’s a woman over on Mastodon making the argument that he’s trying to destroy it so it can’t be used to organize left-leaning political action (fundraising, activism, issue messaging, etc) any longer. She makes a compelling argument.
