Am I the only one who just noticed the delete function is no longer available?
I can't really say whenever exactly this function was removed but I only noticed it today. To be honest, am not very have especially with this changes, I can say this has affected me directly, other changes he made around twitter has no direct impact on me as this does. Elon needs to be careful with these several changes before he makes the platform unusable.

They are constantly making changes since Elon's takeover. It was working fine before but now they have made the user experience much worse in order to try and extract the most value from this platform. There is a ton more ads to make up for the advertisers that left and my feed is full of random people's tweets who I don't follow, which seems like a poor attempt to increase engagement.
I guess it came from internal sabotage after Elon cut over 70% of staff since taking over.  Maybe Elon has recognized the problem, but the internal processing time is still not stable, the service of twitter continues to degrade.  Nothing major has changed to twitter's reach and reach since Elon acquired Twitter but I don't think Elon will let things fall apart so simply. I still expect to see them announce the NFT tweet Tiles feature soon and crypto adoption as a form of payment for the platform.
of course there will be changes that are interconnected, at first there might be turmoil that is normal, but we don't know what strategy Elon Musk will implement. I don't think he'll be careless about dropping Twitter, but that's the way to go for his success, just like when he catapulted Doge, no one knew about his plans.
