At this point I'm starting to think he wanted to topple Twitter. Nobody is this careless.

My guess is he launched Tesla in China and wanted a WeChat clone, and as he has bought pretty much every company rather than founded them, he just thought it was rinse repeat.

Twitter as WeChat is exactly what I’m guessing Musk is attempting. I wouldn’t be surprised if he started linking Teslas and the Supercharger Network to Twitter.

He has mentioned that the three would have some interconnectivity via his xAI platform. Along with StarLink providing the networking to the platform.

What all it means and how it all works has yet to be seen. Pretty hard to work on new ideas when your company is hemorrhaging money faster than an executive at a top dollar strip club.

I have a dumb conspiracy that Elon wants to be US president like any Lex Luthor like person, but since he can't he is ruining things extreme republicans hate. Then he can gain favor and make his way up as high as he can to reach religious cult status Like some megalomaniac. 😆

What's weird is if you look at users on places like Newsmax and Oann or other extremist forums they seem to happy seeing Tesla and Twitter going down but don't mock Elon for it

I don’t think that Elron can really do math, so who knows.

Now they're researching a time machine to try to create a conundrum where Musk simultaneously buys Twitter, runs it to the ground, but then in the past re-buys it from himself after he runs it to the ground.

Big W for the ADL, ratio'ing Musk harder then anyone else ever could

It's a rather sad state of affairs. I have 2 accounts, one for professional network and SFW interests, plus another for porn. The professional network and SFW interests has become an absolute bonfire. I find myself using it less and less. I used to check every day, now I barely check once a week.

TL:DR Twitter is only useful for porn these days, and even that isn't fantastic.

Elon has screwed up the site.
