    Dunno about that. It was clearly broken before he stepped in so whats the alternative if he does step down? I don't like the bloke but to be fair I've quite enjoyed reading the stories of him and twitter so far. IMO it's too soon to say whether what he is done is detrimental or not or whether it can ever be fixed, whatever fixed might look like, so although I don't use the platform I'm all for him staying and mixing it up a bit more. That said I couldn't care less if it goes bust and disappears so my opinion doesn't really help

    It's now a private company. He paid over the odds for it, so shareholders did do alright out of it.

    If it was still listed now, I suspect the share price would be a lot lower than the $54 he paid for it.

    Oh he won't do that, he has gone in and done what he wanted , fired most of the staff, cleaned up the lefty control and restored share price all while acting the clown to prevent anyone stopping him.

    Next a Musk (mini me) will be appointed. The word according to Musk will continue.

    Unlikely to be the case. He still has tremendous influence and is now the biggest presence on the platform. Kind of like Trump's lingering power over the Republican party.
