The best plans are the ones where you gain an advantage whether it succeeds or fails. For Musk’s fascist backers, him buying Twitter was such a plan: if he successfully turns it into a right-wing disinformation platform they win, and if he destroys it utterly they also win.

Fair enough, that’s a really interesting (and horrifying) read.
I really do not like this idiot.
Damn, I’ve been keen to say this mindset is simply giving Elon too much credit, but this article drops some pretty strong bits and pieces indeed.
Definitely feels like Elon is still bumbling through this “plan”, but the evidence is pretty damning.
Interested to hear more takes on this article. Thanks for sharing!
