Elon Musk admits X ‘may fail’ after glitch deletes Twitter photos - eviltoast

"Over the weekend, a glitch on the platform meant that the site removed pictures and links on posts made before December 2014. The posts showed broken links instead of the pictures and videos that were previously there.

Several users noticed the glitch, with the technologist Tom Coates among those pointing it out. Coates referred to the glitch as “epic vandalism by Musk” and suggested it could be a cost-saving exercise."

      At this point I’m thinking destroying twitter is just a scheme to write off losses so he can sell more TLSA stock and avoid taxes.

        i think it’s more about fun… there weren’t many other toys he could buy and have this much fun with… and he’s just a nasty kid who likes to destroy other people’s nice things…
