It certainly appears that the purchase has been horribly mismanaged - I say this as someone who generally likes the idea of Musk buying it. That said (the "cue the fanboys" troll below called it I guess), I like the idea of a platform like this not being beholden to advertisers. A platform that's making choices to appease a squeamish advertiser is basically bad for everyone but that advertiser. This pull-out seems like it's just silly virtue signaling, but to the extent it's not, I'm happy to see Twitter being editorially independent. Hopefully it won't completely destroy them. And if it does, we can always look forward to the Mattel-Mars Bar quick energy chocobot hour
