    Wow…

    Is there some kind of tech CEO competition running or something?

      There’s a saying, " never attribute to malice what is easily explained by incompetence".

      But we’re quickly reaching the point where it’s no longer easily explained incompetence. Elon is either the most incompetent person in the known universe, which is saying a lot, or he’s doing this on purpose for some reason.

      I’m not into conspiracies, but it’s starting to make more sense if he’s actively trying to tank the stock.

        There’s no stock to tank. You could argue that he’s trying to tank the company, but there are easier ways to do that.

          I’m kinda lost here. What’s his end goal with it?

            Depriving the libs of a favored platform via making it conservative and unruly, and weakening its democratic potential against authoritarian states like Saudi Arabia, is the theory.

            There’s no stock or similar security, so the SEC doesn’t care at all. Could be a plausible deniability thing, I just think it’s more likely that he really is that dumb, given the stories about Tesla/SpaceX having teams that basically existed just to control him.

        He just wants everyone to be exposed to his right-wing buddies toxic posts.

          Yup, he gets a hard-on by exposing people to the “fash n friends” crap.

        I mean, 2024 isn’t that far away. It’s pretty clear who he’s pandering to in the name of “free speech” or “townsquare of the internet” or whatever shitty rationalization he uses to explains his nutty behavior.

        Once upon a time, long ago, in the very beginning, I liked Twitter as a stream of instant information from all POV. Then Twitter became a haven for bots and a propaganda tool. Is it possible that Musk bought Twitter so that he could take it to the point of absurdity and destroy it?
