As much as I’d like to see this happen, I don’t think he’ll actually do it. His ego will not allow retreat.

Then again, if he spins it as a moral act of defiance against “woke” and “overreaching” Big Government regulations, I could see it. I still don’t think it’s likely, but it’s more of a possibility than it seemed when I started typing this comment.

His ego is why I hope to god he starts charging money for access to the service. I can imagine the number of likes, retweets and follows taking a huge nosedive as the musk fanatics stop using bots to prop him up.
