It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

Honestly even if the executive wanted to crash Twitter on purpose I'm not sure they could have done as good as Musk.

He's carefully destroying the brand, the infrastructure, the finances and the credibility of Twitter.

You can't be too quick because then people would take about for maybe a month and move over.

No it had to be slow and painful so everyone start to really hate it.
