In a recent opinion column for The New York Times, columnist Farhad Manjoo openly announced his hope that potential new owner Elon Musk makes Twitter worse, leading to its destruction. Manjoo cites Twitter's role in the spread of misinformation and hate speech as his primary reason for wanting to see it fail. He also criticizes the platform for its lack of transparency around its algorithms and for not doing enough to protect users' data. While some may see Manjoo's wishes as extreme, there is no denying that Twitter has serious problems that need to be addressed. Whether or not Musk is the right person to do that remains to be seen.
