I’m hoping for something like “2024: Elon is found guilty of failing to uphold the obligations imposed on Twitter back in their 2011 lawsuit around misuse of information; Former Twitter staff are found to have heroically attempted to follow the law but were fired for doing so; Elon is ordered to sell X; 2025: Mastodon buys it for five million dollars; Elon is forced to sell all his shares in Tesla/SpaceX to pay fines to the FTC; Mastodon rebrands X to Twitter which becomes just another Fediverse instance. 2026: FTC uses the $50 billion Elon pays them to, like, hire enough staff to do their job properly going forward”
