I'm starting to suspect he only wanted Twitter to kill it..
It is weird how he's just completely running it into the ground... I don't really buy that though because he never actuslly wanted the company and only bought it because a court forced him to. Also I honestly don't think he'd want to wash 44 big ones down the drain just to own the libs.
All I can think of is that he's just... maybe kind of an idiot and has just gotten lucky so far lol? It's the only thing that fits as far as I can see.
Some have suggested that the purchase was partly to prevent a second Arab spring. Saudi funding and increased cooperation make it a possibility but I’m not sold on any particular idea besides “avoid everything Elon touches.” Why anyone stayed on ragebait bot network: the website is beyond my understanding.
