He is proud that he wasted 1 out of 600 views for 400 million people on that nonsense policy announcement and another few billion views on blue check mark garbage in its comments.

Twitter damaged (2) by changing its content moderation policies. It's not safe for companies to promote themselves since they don't know what they will find themselves being associated with.
