    Let me get this straight:

    1. Person A makes a social network
    2. People flock to it
    3. Person A sells the social network to person B
    4. Networks does a 180, destroying communitie; people outraged.
    5. Same person A makes a social network
    6. People flock to it.
    7. [surely we can predict what is going to happen here, right?]

      This doesn’t really change your point at all, but I remember reading the tech news surrounding the Twitter sale to Musk as it was happening. If memory serves, Musk literally made the $420/share purchase offer as a joke, a joke that several lawsuits were filed to decide it was a serious and legally binding offer.

      He memed his way into owning Twitter against his will, and then burned down everything to assuage his ego. But because he’s a goddamn billionaire there are literally no repercussions.
