4D chess isn't real. Sometimes, rich and powerful people do dumb things. Sometimes they're not very smart and have a visible personality disorder. Searching for an underlying clever motive is an exercise in your intelligence - not theirs.
I don't think "they made me buy it so I'm breaking it" is really a 4D move. It's more like a 4th grade move.
"So" is the mistake. He's not breaking it on purpose. He's just a fucking idiot. He is exactly as smug and incompetent as he appears.
"I'm going to do what I want despite all advice and consequences" doesn't need to be intentional or unintentional to be what it is
... and what it is, is completely different from secretly pursuing a complex goal that only looks like an idiot immune to good ideas.
In light of recent accusations: an idiot off his tits on meth, and immune to good ideas.
