Not sure if I can buy the idea that one of the world's richest, with his hands on so much tech industry, is an outsider.

I don’t waste my time with Twotter, Whimpstagram, or Disgracebook. I could fuckin’ care less. I was fine when none of this shit existed, and no skin would fall off my ass if Twotter goes by the wayside or any of this other nonsense for that matter.

Musk follows his own rules and in some ways he's sort of like trump, just way smarter. As to twitter an historian I follow was following the Jan. 6th hearings and was on twitter so I signed up. I found it unless and unappealing.
