What exactly is Elon Musk up to with Twitter?

Since buying the social media platform for $44billion dollars in October, the US billionaire has given an amnesty to users who’d previously been banned; he’s overseen the departure of thousands of staff; he’s dissolved the Trust and Safety Council; and he’s abandoned Twitter’s Covid disinformation policy. He tweeted that "the bird has been freed" but there's evidence that it's advertisers and users who've taken flight.
