Elon Musk has said and done a lot of weird and outrageous things during his tenure as the owner of Twitter (now X), but we may have just seen the weirdest and most outrageous.
Since the second he realized his big mouth cost him $44 billion
He found a scape-goat for his insanity.
4D chess isn’t real.
Sometimes people do dumb shit. There doesn’t have to be a clever hidden motive. A rich man with a visible personality disorder is not putting on an act or carrying out a strategy. Sometimes, people are just assholes. Sometimes those assholes should know better… but don’t.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
His main point is that he’s not the one killing Twitter, it’s advertisers (being ultimately under the control of the governments of the world). They’re killing it because there’s a vested interest in being able to control the narrative, and he’s not folding.
If I were to attribute malice to something that is obviously sheer stupidity, I’d almost believe he’s deliberately doing outrageous shit to kill off the website. I honestly wouldn’t lose sleep at night if he succeeds, since it was already a shithole before he took over.
