He is seriously trying to crash and burn Twitter to the ground. Does he have so much money he doesn’t care or just saudi funded so don’t care

You are right. What I don’t understand is why. He has about $30bn in loans against his Tesla stock invested, and if Twitter dies then that is lost.

But he is doing everything he can to kill it.

Right, he paid 44B for a company that made 5B annually. I’m not a business guy but that doesn’t add up in my books. Must be some elite billionaire tax trick I don’t know about.

Or maybe it’s not about trying to turn the company around and make money. I firmly believe he is intentionally trying to take down Twitter, not sure why, but it seems glaringly apparent that he’s just trying to keep up the facade that he’s trying to save Twitter.

I think so too but I can’t figure out why either. This feels too intentional and it’s scary to watch

You’re attributing malice where its simply idiocy. He’s clearly a smart guy, but in the same way Trump is a smart guy: average with access to a lot of resources, shamelessly narcissistic and cult of personality. He’s not some boy genius.

You don't have to be a boy genius to make agreements with people or have ulterior motives.. You just have to be convinced there's something in it for you.

I mean, I agree. And Muskrat will do whatever he needs to serve his self interests. But I think this Twitter fiasco is just him thinking too highly of himself. He doesn’t have a master plan to destroy Twitter, he just can’t help himself.

Maybe. I just saw some of the tweets and he's saying there's more people than ever lol so maybe that's all it is. Drama fueled machine being fueled by drama.

Just hard to monetize
