Elon Musk's X is blocking links to the JD Vance "dossier" containing the Trump campaign's research on the vice presidential nominee. X also suspended Ken Klippenstein, the journalist who published the dossier that apparently comes from an Iranian hack of the Trump campaign.

At this point he's just pushing potential users away. I wonder if he's given up on it and is just holding on to it until the election is completed.

At this point it's starting to look like he's intentionally tanking Twitter to remove a major platform where people can organize.

He's making moves intentionally stupid that destroy the Twitter brand that was built up.

People have been saying this since he was forced into buying the platform. I initially thought that could be true too.

As time has gone on, however, I'm starting to think he's just that incompetent
