So it looks like the whole Elon Musk takeover of Twitter is no more. Hoorah.
Elon Musk is a trollish, toxic individual and appears to be an ally of the Intellectual Dark Web with all its race pseudoscience promotion and transphobia.
Quillette of course was a big booster for a Musk-controlled Twitter.
So it was a great relief to discover the deal has fallen apart.
This Week in Google provides an interesting discussion of the situation.
