THE TWITTER SAGA
Perhaps no one story has been more reported on recently than Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. It was a long time coming, and just as I expected, he did not get off to a good start. In this post, I will run through a timeline of this takeover. Under each day is a brief description and if you want more info, you can click the link to the blog post that will expand upon it.

Overall, what we have seen throughout all of this is that Elon Musk truly has no clue what he is doing. He continually makes poor decisions and reacts like a child to criticism. As of right now, this story is still unfolding and ongoing.
I thought it was rather strange how quickly Elon Musk took over Twitter, and found it even more strange on what he did afterward. I do agree with you that he just simply has no idea how to run a social media platform. From paying to be verified on Twitter, which is already bizarre on its own and extremely foolish, to laying off what seemed to be every Twitter employee, his start as the owner of Twitter has been nothing but a literal dumpster fire. Even if he tried to back out of buying Twitter, wherever it was because he knew deep inside he could not run it well or whatever the reason, why even make it public you want to buy Twitter? The blame can only be placed on Elon Musk. Anyways, great post!
