    I honestly think he bought twitter accidentally when he was trying to do another pump and dump like he did when he announced he was taking Tesla private at $420/share and like he did over and over with crypto. He bid a meme price ($54.20) that was way overvaluing the stock (as was his TSLA $420 at the time), and they had to go after him legally when he tried to pull out.

    Being a malignant narcissist with increasing unhinged tendencies, almost as if he is using again, he decided to make it into a $44B joke, because he can. He wasn’t, and isn’t, taking it seriously. He’s shooting from the hip, announcing major policy shifts via spontaneous tweets rather than talking to his senior staff. He whipsaws between policies, changing or reversing them at a moment’s notice. He does not, in the words of the Joker, look like a guy with a plan to me.

    It looks like classic narcissistic rage. There’s a reason why it feels like Trump is in charge of twitter now.
