    I really can’t believe that Elon is willing to make himself the heal and devalue his “brand” for this wild conspiracy theory shit. He’s just a narcissistic, autistic, wealthy, douchebag. It’s the obvious and most reasonable explanation. He’s so delusional he didn’t realize how horrible his ideas are.

      Its likely that Musk was a useful idiot in this situation. He backed himself into a corner w/ his dumb tweets and ended up being on the hook for the purchase of twitter. Then he either needed to pay a billion dollar fine or buy twitter. Thats when arab oil money volunteered to fund his blunder likely because it was a win-win for them. They either make money off of the success if twitter gets better, have huge influence over trends if twitter remained the default information platform, or deter future expensive rebellions if twitter was decimated.

      Musk’s idiocy gave dictators their opportunity to deal a deft blow to their largest enemy, information, and he probably just thinks that he’s a genius who earned that investment.

      His brand has reached cult status. He could snap newborn babies’ necks like twigs in Times Square and someone would praise him for his basedness.
