He didn't want to crash it, that's just a consequence of his politics. He wanted to control what everyone was calling, "the new public square". Nothing more. It just turns out he's a hateful bigot and couldn't keep it in his pants enough to keep what he bought popular.

That's all it is. It's not a grand plan. It's obstinance and greed going awry. He wanted to control it TO ANY BENEFIT he could get. It dying is ALSO a benefit to him, so do not act like this is part of the main plan. It's just a viable plan B or C for a specific step.

The real plan is Project '25 or what ever, and involves A LOT more conservatives than a petulant Musk.
