      People keep attributing Musk being an idiot to things other than him just being an idiot.

      We know he didn’t want to buy Twitter. We know he’s trying to cut costs by cutting every corner. We know his handling of Twitter lost a major share of advertisers. We know he’s trying to compensate for it by milking the perpetually online Twitter addicts.

      He’s just really shit at it. There is no deeper motive, just embarrassing failiure.

        Thank you, the conspiracy theory that he bought twitter just to kill it, is beyond dumb… if he did want to kill twitter he could literally just shut it down. If he wanted to pretend that wasn’t his goql he could rebrand twitter, shut down the old site and open a new one. That would effectively kill twitter overnight.
