I think comparisons work best when the goalposts remain in place. My response was to the rhetorical question Is this person under the impression somehow that what Elon did to Twitter _did_ work, not whether Musk's strategy will make money or keep the Great Lakes free from contamination or whatever other comparison can be made. Musk set out to 'free' Twitter, seemingly convinced this was necessary when the satirical Babylon Bee was banned and seems to have achieved that purpose. The future will tell us if X remains viable after the advertising boycott finally peters out - probably quite soon given the current zeitgeist.
