Three futures for Twitter

Back in April, when the prospect of Elon Musk buying Twitter was taking shape, I wrote a long post about social media, blogging, and the political saturation of everyday life. At the time I suggested that buying Twitter was unlikely to be a good investment for the price, that a lack of “free speech” is far from the biggest problem with the app, and that “as much as I love Twitter, I’m not convinced there’s any way to make it more than marginally better while still keeping what makes Twitter Twitter.”
