At this point, is there any doubt that destroying Twitter was the entire point?
He could’ve just shut it down at any time. I doubt he planned the destruction of his reputation. He’s gone from tech boy wonder to being widely loathed. It’s hurt his other companies as well but, more personally, it’s so obvious from his posts that he’s desperate to be loved and revered.
He just really sucks. Being surrounded by people who never criticize or challenge him unshockingly doesn’t improve things either.
My understanding is that the SEC would have fucked him if he just shut it down, because it would indicate that he never intended to buy it in the first place and instead was just trying to manipulate the stock market (which is definitely what he was doing).
I hate this meme it just so stupid, it gives him an out for being a shit business man.
Reality is he sucks and wants attention, he also owes money to people it would benefit to have Twitter sow seeds of shit in an election year.
There’s no question that he chose to end “Twitter as it was.”
Did he arrogantly think he could turn it into something better? Yeah he probably did.
Did he deliberately lead a billionaire’s club into a $46 billion boondoggle? Probably not.
Does he really hurt at all, in the end, if that’s what it turns out to be? Sadly, no.
So instead of buying Twitter, not touching it for a year, and then shutting it down because it’s “not profitable” he would rather people think he’s incompetent?
Either he’s an idiot man-child who shouldn’t be allowed to be put in charge of anything, or he wants people to think he’s an idiot man-child who shouldn’t be allowed to be put in charge of anything. Either way I’m happy to oblige.
Really? I think it was much simpler than this. Twitter suspended Elon’s account because of his rants and so he decided to buy twitter to show them who is boss.
This is it. He’s a fucking man child with obscene wealth. It isn’t complicated.
Well, if by “destroying” you mean “turning into a haven for right wing hatespeech”, he was pretty open about that. I don’t know that he understood that connection though.

I don’t think so. The man is truly stupid.

I’ve been starting to wonder if Russia has kompromat on him too, and his charge is to just cause general chaos, and yes, as you said, probably eventually shut down Twitter altogether.
