The fun part is that the CEO is on Twitter as this happens, arguing about COVID.

When I checked this morning, he was busy posting borderline sexist dad jokes: (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1632574090216103937)

I still don't understand why every fifth post in my feed is an Elon tweet, I don't even follow him. I could block him but I find it interesting to see how much of his content is pushed toward me who hasn't asked for it.

He intentionally demanded the site be jury-rigged to force-feed everyone his posts regardless

It's unintentionally becoming a symbol of its downturn.

Maybe better to block him. I did so because I was a bit sick of seeing his tweets - some of them are borderline offensive, some are him cosying up with far-right but the majority are just a bit try-hard, unfunny and ultimately sad.

I'm not a delicate flower when it comes to offense so I'd just roll my eyes when the first two kinds of tweets popped up. But seeing a grown man repeatedly trying and failing so hard at being a poster is a bit much to take.
