Everything he does. It's just so stupid, it has to be purposeful. Like how he rigged the market with doge coin and bit coin, just openly making statements he knew would effect the market. I bet he bought up before saying those. And now tanking Twitter, it's already dead, we may as well stop calling it by his ridiculous moniker. But I bet he's bought up whatever he's replacing Twitter with. I wouldn't even put it past him to be in cahoots with zuck, and the feud is pretend. It's all just too obvious. It reeks of I can do whatever i want, I'm above reproach.
But it doesn't actually make sense to "Buy up whatever he's replacing Twitter with." Twitter was a globally recognized media company, integrated into the daily lives of billions of people. That is what he bought. At that point there was no need to control whatever was going to replace it, he already HAD it. You don't burn down the global megacorporation that you own just so you can replace it with some unknown startup that you also own.
He's not playing 4D Chess, he's not some genius in the guise of a fool, these aren't the actions of someone who has carefully considered their plan. Carefully considered plans don't start by burning 44 BILLION dollars.
He's an idiot, an impulsive dipshit who doesn't know when to shut the fuck up. It's why he had to buy Twitter in the first place, because like a dumbass he TALKED about buying it for meme stock prices, without disclosing he already owned a shitload of shares, so when his actions increased the share price he had to either act like he fully meant it, or be blatantly guilty of stock manipulation.
I too used to think there was some plan behind his catastrophically bad leadership of Twitter. I too thought there had to be some play, some means of making money by destroying the company, after all nobody could be THAT STUPID. But no, he really is. He really is that fucking stupid.
Please let me be clear that I abhor this dipshit, entirely. I was just pondering, you know. Even the worst people have motives, and I find trying to find sanity, in anything he does, a hard task. He must have had some end game. He must have noticed he's tanking Twitter. Continuing on and doubling down, seems purposeful. And he would want a way to rise out of the ashes ego unscathed. So I was trying to devise his exit plan. He has to have something (stupid af as it may well be) that he stands up and says 'I did this on purpose, it actually proves I'm a genius' because that's his go to response to everything. I suppose I'm trying to predict his patterns of stupid. But that's probably not possible for someone with a working brain, and or any sense of logic.
