I honestly believe that he was backed into a corner and this was his out. His mouth wrote checks he literally couldn't cash, and when he was forced to fork over the money, the spiteful little shit was like "Ok, well these oligarchs would like to see Twitter festroyed anyway, so let's do that."

Yes and no, he didn't want it as much as he wanted the attention. When he was trapped, they told him they'd be buddies and directly/indirectly support his other projects if he played ball. Plus, they all probably have the true depth on his Epstein stuff and they all wave kompromat over each other's heads and threaten with a smile.

Make no mistake, Musk is an oligarch wannabe. He is just like all of them — greedy, self-serving, self-righteous cunts. The world will be far better off when they no longer exist.

You don't become a billionaire without having those personality traits.

I agree completely. I just wonder why anyone argues that he's not obviously trying to actively destroy Twitter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure that was shown to be the case (people who knew him reporting that he lamented twitter’s “wokeness”, wanted to do something about it, and how he railed against his own trans child).

He is, in every sense of the word, a douchebag.

So anyone who argues the opposite is either in on the agenda or sucking his probably-tiny genitalia — or both.
