@inthehands In my youth I was planning to be a chemist. "Cis" and "Trans" are terms from organic chemistry that describe the placement of a group of atoms on two isomers of a molecule.
Someone applied the "cis" label to people who are not "trans", and the usage has become part of the language. There's no musical analogy here.
Musk knows *exactly* what he is doing. It's vile. He's destroying Twitter and will end up selling it for parts in whatever passes for a liquidation sale these days.
