@jeffjarvis @mmasnick That's genuinely baffling, and makes me wonder what his game here is, if not simply burning it all down.

    @mattblaze @jeffjarvis @mmasnick It would not surprise me if Musk thinks the blue checkmark can *replace* advertisers.

    @mattblaze @jeffjarvis @mmasnick He seems to think Twitter's problems are primarily technical. I assume he figures that if he solves the technical problems, success will follow. For now, usage is apparently up and the site hasn't fallen over, so he has no evidence to contradict this approach

    @mattblaze @jeffjarvis @mmasnick the only plausible alternative is hybris + sunk cost fallacy. He thinks he can rebuild everything and convince people to come back, that the sudden flood of problems aren't his own fault.
