I thought this was The Onion at first.

But Musk is doing a great job of achieving his goal of killing Twitter. I wonder who paid or blackmailed him enough for it to be worth the 44 billion?

They were one of the largest investors in Twitter before the purchase. Musk said he would buy it, then tried to back out, and his hand was forced

But how would they threaten him? What’s leverage could they have against someone on the other side of the world who has the means to protect himself by paying security etc.

Elon Musk takes the socialization out of social networks! What an innovation!

It was like this on the Flamingo app aswell and I prefered it that way. I almost never interact with any tweets so those buttons were just useless clutter for me.

I think "Who is still using them?" is a better question.
