At the end of the day incentives are incentives. All the engineers Elon fired when he took over did in fact build a site that’s really good for announcing things like news to the world, and it was really quite complex behind the scenes. And if someone wants to replicate that, it’s a lot of work with the added problem that unlike the original Twitter, they have to compete with Twitter in building a new network. Additionally, social media news just isn’t very profitable which is why Meta/Threads has discouraged news and politics. So unfortunately Twitter is really all there is, social media news now essentially has a strong built-in right wing bias for the foreseeable future.
