Eloon is tanking twitter on purpose. There is no other rational explanation. The platform was already bleeding ad revenue, and then with the fake ads over the past couple of weeks, there's not much of a revenue stream left besides "verified users".

(While I'm thinking about it, if you're a noob here, consider going pro. I've tried most of the newer alt social media sites, and #CoSo is, IMHO, the best of the bunch.)
