Pretty sure one of the first things musk did was kill off an entire (or more than one?) data centre. Pointing out with glee that it worked fine without it.

This is probably why it existed.

Still it's only twitter. No real loss.

He didn't kill it off, he gave it to spacex.

Edit:
He didn't renew the lease, slandered the data center, then Tesla picked up the lease.
So, didn't "give it" and it wasn't spacex.

I never heard that. But it seems entirely believable.

Oh, my bad. It was Tesla.
And Twitter/Musk never actually owned it, it was leased space.
