My theory on Musk's mid-term plan for Twitter:
1) Disrupt the "woke" world which thrives on Twitter
2) Convert Twitter into a micro-payment monetization website, effectively replacing PornHub, Substack, YouTube, and any other pay-per-view or subscription service.
He needs marks/volume to make this happen so he trolls liberals to keep them around, and strokes the egos and greed of right-wing "citizen journalists" in hopes that they will invest their efforts in his scheme.
Time will tell.
