4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Probably easier just waiting for X to go bankrupt.
Elon Musk has enough money to keep Twitter alive indefinetely.

Yes, but seeing as he didn't just use his money to buy the damned thing in the first place, why would he do it to save the company now?
Literally look at how much attention it's getting him!
Never mind the real goal - he's got an established far reaching platform, he doesn't care about those leaving it, he cares about those staying, that's who he's pandering to - the bigots and the companies openly willing to do business with bigots. And he now has his own media outlet that is aimed directly at them.
People think he's just some clueless manchild, and while he is the latter, he's definitely not the former, he knows exactly what he's doing, and that's building up an empire to secure his power indefinitely.
It isn't clear that he does. If he did, he wouldn't have needed to ~~dupe~~ ::ahem:: "persuade" investors to bankroll his takeover.
