Frankly, Musk could pull this off and it might be his plan anyway. Twitter has a lot of tech and very talented people.. not to mention the existing user base. But Musk has the star appeal to draw in famous users and make it at least somewhat appealing to the masses who want to follow along.

The social media space is stagnant and looking for change, but as yet nobody can match Meta’s $55/user in ARPU. Maybe Musk can get there.

Lol the only people who would join Musk's social network are Tesla investors, crypto enthusiasts, and people who've already joined gettr, parler, truth social, etc..

Also having the head of a new social network be someone who is notorious for being a dick is not the best way to build a healthy community.

I think he can. I see twitter to be a much better platform than FB and based on my observation engagement in the platform is only getting better. With politics, tech, markets as hot topics as ever TWTR could be worth much more under Elon.
