Twitter used to be my number one source for quick user generated updates across the globe. An event in my city or around the globe and I wanted to tune in what others are saying and what’s going on? There was nothing faster than Twitter.

Then came the bots and bot farms. They started polluting Twitter and manipulating the masses.

Elon Musk is right in some of his observations. But he did not have the right action plan. He started doing things haphazardly, and many were saying: This is the way he approaches projects, too hastily, apparently very chaotic, but in the end he succeeds. The thing is: This time his ego got in his way. The platform he tries to redefine and reinvent is also his mirror, for polishing his own ego by chasing likes.

Musk is killing Twitter, and Jack Dorsey was complicit in this.
