    I think Elon is seriously considering withdrawing “X” from most international markets. He’ll reduce X to USA/CAN (maybe UK/AUS) markets and see what he can achieve. Maybe expand later on. So he doesn’t have to bother with 190 jurisdictions on the planet trying to regulate his business.

      Twitter was already struggling with nearly unfettered access to every internet-connected user. (sans heavily censored countries)

      If Musk cut off 25%-50% of users, the platform, which relies on eyeballs seeing advertisements, would certainly spiral into oblivion.
