Elon Musk wants people to stop being so addicted to Twitter, and the billionaire has continued to implement new rules and measures, most of them quite controversial and disliked by users.

Will Twitter still remain if Elon musk keeps this up?

Elon is going to drown Twitter! It’s just a matter of time.

It’s glaring at this point that the Twitter is lost and confused.. His ego bought into Twitter, not his person.

Bought an overly priced Twitter, and when all was thinking he had great plans, the company’s credibility and user experience keeps tanking.

He cannot even sell Twitter at the price he bought it. It’s IMPOSSIBLE! Bad Investment!
