New thought on Musk proposal. Reason it seems like a bad idea to me is that at least my corner of twitter seems 2-3 years ahead of the zeitgeist as a cultural technology, and this is partly because the governance has been benign neglect allowing wisdom of crowd pockets to exist

Unless off course he mainly focuses on unconstraining the hive. Going private could mean less bouba governance, more kiki memetics at the speed of thought

Maybe it’s more about Twitter being more than meets the eye
