I get that, although to be really honest the people I truly feel bad for in this mess are Twitter employees. On the other hand, Musk shooting himself in the foot over and over again is absolutely hilarious and I do not feel bad for him in the slightest.

There is a very small minority of Twitter users I don't feel bad for (*cough* Dave Troy *cough*), but crazy people aside, a huge number of users would be displaced by this, including those in more niche groups like furry artists, who would probably need to search a bit harder then others to find new homes online. On the other hand, I have seen major issues with Twitter's site as implemented that affect discourse, and a lot of these issues are resolved in the Fediverse.

In short, like many things in life, it's a mix of comedy and tragedy. In my humble opinion, one should laugh at the funny parts while crying at the sad parts.
