Let it burn, it's a cesspit of trash and toxic stuff. I hope Musk takes a big dent and humbles up, but I doubt it...
I'm pretty sure he took over for his GOP friends to either make it more backwards or run it into the ground before the big US elections. It probably wasn't his idea, because he's not capable to come up with something that smart. Naming it X revealed he hopes it's salvagable to be his hillbilly incel platform. Either way, he will have fulfilled his task in time.
the saudis financed his twitter buy so he could burn it for them. not a secret.
I honestly think it's more that his right leaning mind virus caused him to think he's doing good in the world by buying up a platform like twitter and making changes that either kill it or if it works it turns it into something he views as a 'free speech' platform. I don't think this is some hidden thing on behalf of the GOP or other groups. Its all him.
If you listen to him he outright says this. He thinks he's the good guy here because in his perspective Twitter was how we all see X now. He believes he's performing a service to the public for a greater good.
Nah. It'll all be the fault of left wing gay Jewish globalist radicals. The funny thing is that this dude is actually pretty intelligent (despite everything you hear) and yet he seems to genuinely believe this kind of bullshit. Just what you get from huffing your own farts too much.
I thought Grimes had an affair with a trans person, and ever since he's been on the crazy train. Maybe he knows exactly that it's all bullshit, but it's also lucrative and hard to backpedal.
Musk is blaming the left because his trans daughter doesn't want to speak to him anymore

Huh, I suspected it was over grimes even knowing that about his daughter. Though I do love that he’s clearly missing that his daughter’s anti rich stance probably has a lot more to do with her dad getting rich and promptly abandoning her mom. Around 16 is when all that’s likely to click and you’re gonna fucking hate the rich for that.
