Another pump & dump from Musk?>

I'm not sure why this matters to Musk, seeing as he is allegedly committed to removing spam from the platform

Is the suggestion that he'll only get involved if it's an easy problem to solve?

Or that there's a dollar value on the free speech on the platform and Twitter isn't worth it if there isn't a good enough free speech ratio?

If we are lucky, he will simply destroy twitter. Such a shitty website that ruins half the internet.

How does the SEC continually ignore him manipulating stock prices through twitter? Another government agency made toothless to protect the rich.
