  Maybe if they go private they can work on user focused stuff. I'd like to be able to use the site again without being forced to sign in.

    Due to the loans Elon had to take out, Twitter now has to make interest payments of over one billion dollars a year. Expect more features that try to wring every cent out of the userbase.

      Twitter may become the official platform for communicating to/from Musk's planned Mars missions. There's a lot of monetezation potential right there, as Earthlings tune in to follow every tweet from future Martians.

        Mars missions aren't happening for the foreseeable future.

    Does Amana Appliances Corp. make a microwave with all-wheel drive and independent suspension? Respectfully, you are comparing apples to oranges.

      ...and then there are stories like this[1] where Tesla is refusing to release autopilot data to an owner who claims Tesla's autopilot caused his car to crash. That's not very open.
