Don’t attribute to stupidity what can be attributed to malice.
Trump is an idiot. Musk is evil. Musk didn’t buy Xitter to make it better, despite his claim of being capable of making it more profitable. He bought it using a shitload of Saudi oil money in order to destroy one of the largest platforms for leftist voices in the western world. This wasn’t just him blustering into a 25 billion dollar loss on Xitter. What Musk does is very intentional.
He trashed the reputation he gained amongst well educated millenials to look good in the eyes of the same people who voted for Trump.
What’s more important as a billionaire narcissist? Constantly having to navigate your support base, a support base you inherently disagree with, or developing one that will support you no matter what you do?
Yes, but his business model’s primary target is well educated millennials. I know I’m not the only one who went from thinking of getting a Tesla as my next car to looking at what competitors have.

Eh. I’ll agree to disagree. There’s a reason the razor is the exact opposite, to first attribute to stupidity and then to malice.
There’s no way Elon would’ve agreed to trash his reputation like this to kill Twitter. He’s far too egotistical and craves worship.
Think about it this way.

Idk, food for thought.
Mmmm tasty narcissism…

No reason he couldn’t be both stupid and malicious.
Hm, I thought lots of boomers and Gen Xers were the ones that could afford them the most, though.
Agreed. I think he’s not even 1/10th as smart as his fanbois seem to think he is. I think he also set out to life the voices of the alt-right, though.
But I bet he didn’t think his purchase would be worth less than half a year after he bought it and completely mismanaged it.
