Okay I can’t follow this anymore. There’s no way this isn’t some purposeful move to destroy twitter out of pettiness for being forced to buy it.

Has the guy received brain damage or something I’ve never seen a more spectacular dive into idiocy

I’ve always assumed the buyout attempt was to devalue it and cause it to fail, so I would say failure was the goal before the value wasn’t able to be manipulated.

Um the buyout was at a fixed price early on. Devaluing accomplishes nothing.

No no you don’t understand. If it’s not a complex plot to destroy Twitter then Elon is actually trying and that means he is a narcissistic moron who is running Twitter into the ground. That couldn’t be true because Elon built rockets and invented the Tesla all by himself without any help from the shit ton of engineers with advanced degrees and skills that Elon doesn’t have that work at Elon’s companies. Elon just hired all those people so he would have and audience of people around that were smart enough to watch, understand and enjoy while Elon did all the work.

He has had this idea since his Paypal days.

Man is just stuck in the 90s when everything was Xtreme!

Replace the TW with SH. Simple, but palpable rebranding of TWitter.

It’s probably losing a lot of money and he despises what twitter was (spreading the “woke mind-virus”), so if he can’t make it a profitable Truth Social clone, he’s going to kill it to cut his losses (in a “meme-able” way).
