Musk said he's still committed to the deal on Twitter. There's a 1 billion breakaway fee, Twitter stock is down 23% from his bid price, and as people have noticed -- Twitter is already doing what he wanted them to do.

If I were Musk I'd at least want a better deal, and if I can bail totally, all the better. I never really liked Twitter though. And I think he view of it as "the townhall of democracy" was colored by his own love of the platform.

I don’t even understand how to use it(?). Is the purpose to follow people and read what other people say? That’s so stupid it makes me angry.

For real, something about that site is just off-putting. But it's only a standard forum really, the UX is just weird. I find it difficult to follow convos on there, so I don't, but for a quick look at what people are saying, it can be handy.

A lot of stuff I view, was posted on twitter first. So it’s useful for that.
