"Over the weekend, a glitch on the platform meant that the site removed pictures and links on posts made before December 2014. The posts showed broken links instead of the pictures and videos that were previously there.
Several users noticed the glitch, with the technologist Tom Coates among those pointing it out. Coates referred to the glitch as “epic vandalism by Musk” and suggested it could be a cost-saving exercise."
At best, I think it could be an actual plan of his, he was pissed when he was forced to buy Twitter after backing out, real pissed.
Maybe now he’s intentionally destroying it as a way to destroy the accomplishments of those he was forced to buy it from, but he’s doing it in a way that won’t land him in legal trouble for intentionally destroying it.
I would believe it if it turned out to be true, but at the same time, he could simply be an extremely incompetent, super ultra mega wealthy idiot. I dunno.
Could he get in legal trouble for intentionally destroying it? It’s no longer publicly traded but a private company owned by Musk. I think he’s within his rights to just lay everyone off and shut it down.
It wasn’t entirely bought with his cash.

I think that might be giving him too much credit, bit who knows. I don’t think he’d willingly throw away that much money when he’s been trying to build his brand around X for decades.
