I just think twitter was being run as a propaganda machine. As in, it's purpose was not to make money.

Much like the way Netflix is ran. They produce all this woke garbage that no one likes and no one watches, not because they're stupid and hate money, but because they aren't really in it for the money. They just need to bring in enough to keep the lights on, but beyond that, the purpose is to manipulate minds. They are deep state/commie/jew/globalist/cathedral/whatever-name-you-want-to-give-it operations.

So after Musk bought it, he actually wanted to run it like a traditional business. He saw all these useless employees who brought nothing of value to the company and decided to get rid of them. They were fine being there before, acting as thought police taking down anything that would go against the hive-mind, but they are just dead weight when you actually want a company that is profitable.
