Maybe one day he'll climb into his Telsa, hit the stage 69 autopilot button and fly back to Mars where his people are from

Oh no. Anyways...
I have very little doubt that in the mind of Elon Musk the people who after all this are still using X-Twitter are lusers.
One perspective on this might be that Elon and friends have successfully identified a set of dubious advertisers and hate-tolerant userbase.
Who wouldn't want to corner a user base like that? Used to have to become a priest to have people hooked so thoroughly.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
They are also spreading rapidly across the internet, according to data from the social-media analysis firm Graphika, which warned such tools could be used for sextortion and targeted harassment campaigns.
Hamza Mudassir, a strategy consultant and lecturer at Cambridge University, noted that suspicious ads appear across all social-media platforms.
"However, I think the problem with X is that, because all of the large advertisers have effectively walked out, this is what you see in higher frequency, which basically produces a terrible time for genuine users on the platform," he told BI.
Since taking over the site, Musk has slashed X's content-moderation team and reinstated figures such as Alex Jones who was previously removed from the platform for abusive behavior, something that made advertisers distinctly uneasy even before the billionaire's recent controversies.
"The fact that X has made it abundantly clear that it has no desire to create a brand-safe environment has only solidified our recommendations to move to growing platforms with better opportunities for organic discovery," he added.
The Financial Times reported last month that X was attempting to offset the loss of companies like IBM and Walmart by appealing to smaller businesses and aiming to bring in $100 million in political ads during the 2024 election year.
