That's one of the guesses I've seen put forward; set up a president for rent social media site to be bailed now. That way the Titans can remain entrenched and never fall.
Another potential motive for crashing Twitter intentionally would be to kill it as a new source oddly enough. Just look at how much was prevented in terms of --frankly-- unwarranted US "interventions'" (invasions) thanks to whatever BS was getting propped up for backing it being quickly debunked.

I don't think so. There have been other social media sites that have come, and gone. Myspace anyone? Ultimately, advertisers will want nothing to do with their ad being put next to a post by an overt Nazi. Therefore revenue will fail. The only hope it has is Musk will keep selling Tesla stock (another $3.6 billion this week). The only thing it will be good for is Nazi organizing though.

Which will be a sad loss. It was weirdly good for disseminating precient timely news like the Australian bush fires, the Fukashima disaster, and so many major storms.
Tova:
Sure, we all remember Myspace, the canonical example given of a fallen social media giant. I'm not betting any money either way, and I won't cry if it fails. That's just my guess. Still a lot of people there with a lot of skin in the game.

Elon has started banning journalists. Here's a full list so far. Surprise surprise it's mostly folks that have spoken out against him
