Opinion: Twitter’s downward spiral is sad, but I’m not leaving just yet

Elon Musk’s Twitter has lasted more than a month, in spite of his own self-sabotaging. He is operating with a bareboned staff, rolling out features before thinking them over and simply tweeting through it all.

He’s also welcoming the worst of Twitter back on his platform. He brought back Kanye, who subsequently tweeted a photo of a swastika and a star of David merged together and got banned again. Under his guidance, Twitter has allowed 12,000 accounts to be reinstated, which has included Nazis and other figures on the alt-right. He even held a poll on the platform to justify bringing Donald Trump back.
