It is increasingly likely that the point of purchasing Twitter was to destroy it.

Edit - FWIW, I waffle back and forth on this one. I mean, the guy's not a complete idiot. Though I don't certainly think he's the genius people often think he is. He's needed had a fair amount of luck and self-serving coercion to get where he is. The Twitter stuff is just so blind to market reality that I wonder if there's some self-sabotage in there?

(Either way, I am genuinely enjoying the the follow-on comments here!)
