> Diversified away from ad revenue.

He was forced to due to ad revenue plummeting as a reaction to his own actions and policies.

>Introduced breaking changes to accustom the user base to faster development.

What does faster development have to do with breaking almost a decade's worth of UX and muscular memory? You can ship _bad_ changes quickly. I lost track of the amount of times I tapped Reply instead of Retweet after they shifted all buttons right when they introduced viewcounts.

> Shrunk a bloated team to die-hards via whaling-and-culling.

I'd argue there's a reasonable middle ground between "a bloated team" and "just the die-hards".

Community notes existed before Musk, and their role is to dispute a claim or provide context. They don't moderate content in any way.
