I have a thought that I can’t let go, that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.

Not something I strongly belief but a small thought that keeps returning.

It's going to be some batshit crazy idea that Elon makes bad decisions on purpose isn't it?

that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.

sigh, there it is.

didn't he try not to buy it and was forced by a court decision?

thinking that he is evil is to overrate elonMusk.

He thought he could do whatever he wants and whenever. Laws were there to remind him that his statements had consequences for him.

he is just making one decision after another.

If he actually bought it to close the gates of hell then I'll have to respect him for that
