Frankly there is no alternate conspiracy that can make this make sense. Even if the point is destroying Twitter, why does he have to be the one to personally take the reputation hit? He could downright hire some celebrity CEO to say and do all the shit he wants done, get all the flak while he relaxes on a yacht. There may or may not be backroom deals but he's still being a chump for exposing himself like that. His business are taking hits because he's seen as increasingly unreliable.
Even if he loses al his companies he still has money to live on that yacht for the rest of his life,(doubt it as USA is practically funding him), he is a narcissist he wants the attention, he wants people talking about him.
But any guess is as good as mine, maybe he is the Manchurian candidate maybe not.
I think he's just proof that money doesn't make people immune to internet brain rot.
