If your intent is to push people off Twitter towards mastodon.social, then Twitter has won.
Elon musk has a net worth of $174B.
And mastodon.social has a tiny sliver of $300,000 a year.
If Mastodon is re-centralized, it is in a fight that it cannot win. It just takes Elon Musk to buy it outright for the game to be over.
But if Mastodon does what it does best—decentralization—then it will win because Mastodon *cannot* be bought!
