That Feeling When by Nikhil Taneja: The fall and fall of Elon Musk’s Twitter

If you haven’t been living under a rock (or if, perhaps, you are a literal bird), you probably have seen the horror comedy that’s unfolding on and around Twitter after billionaire memelord Elon Musk bought it over. We may be watching, in real time, one of the most influential companies in the world being razed to the ground by a man who spent $44 billion to buy it, and is now determined to turn its value into zero. It’s been a raging, relentless, rivetting dumpster fire, and that is the politest way of putting it.

Billionaire reality show

It would’ve all been so funny if it wasn’t all so tragic. We’re watching the sloppiest reality show unfold in front of us, and we’re seeing, in all likelihood, the inevitable fall from medium-grace, of one of the most mocked, and talked about, uber rich people on the planet.
