Musk is a classis predator: I think he is deliberately attempting to destabilise Substack so that he can acquire it cut price.

I have never trusted Musk, but even he knows that Twitter and Substack both feed off each other, to mutual advantage. Maybe he sees the metrics, and realises that the Substack model is vastly superior. Which it is. It is a paradigm shift, in that content creators are rewarded financially for their work: unlike almost all social media except the very niche 'Onlyfans' DIY porno site.

World's going to hell. But the last human left on earth's thumbs will still be busy posting it's latest opinion about totally irrelevant bs. The chattering classes have it. Keep tweeting, twittering, etc etc etc. Up there with Nero fiddling whilst Rome burned down to the ground.
