Comment on Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears

So let me get this straight. Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion, fired most of the staff, destroyed bunch of features and functionality, scared advertisers away and now changed the brand’s name. Wouldn’t it be less hassle to just start a platform and pay people $100 each as a sign up bonus?

That's absurd! Assuming 4 billion in actual startup costs, at the purchase price they could only afford to do that for...
four hundred million people. LOL.
Jesus this was a dumb transaction.

Just for perspective, the U.S. population is 300 million. Add on the 67 million population of the UK and you still have plenty of change left over.
Jesus, this was a stupid decision.
