It really isn't. Twitter is still up despite musk and Reddit is still strong.despite this...you miss the aim. If the aim is egalitarian then yeah....but no the aim is to make personal money and power (in musk case it is political.platform like being a modern newspaper baron..the next Rupert Murdoch, spaz for the sweet sweet IPO for yacht.
