I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is all a part of his plan to bankrupt the Twitter.

He has to pretend he is trying to make the business profitable, while sinking the ship in the process.

He owes more in interest than Twitter makes in profit.

The company is worth less than a half of what it he bought it for. He can't even sell it and break even, there would be a 20 billion dollar loss

Yet again he is going to be bailed out on the back of the taxpayer. You and I

That's just you, with intelligence, trying to explain what he, without intelligence, is doing. You're projecting intelligence on him because he won capitalism, and Capitalism wants you to think it's because of merit. It isn't, he's an idiot. Look at the name of his child.... Do you think this is a person with foresight?

Or, he's just a bit of an idiot.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence

And what do you do when someone is actually doing something malicious?

clarification edit: malicious people can easily pretend to be stupid and claim they have made a mistake when they do bad shit.

You rule out the other options first, and then you shoot them in the face.

I agree with you. I think twitter was as good for progressives as it was for nazis and Elon and others couldn't have that. The fact that we're not discussing this on Twitter and not even on Reddit, but on this beautiful but obscure platform, showd it all works well for the nazis.
