    Eh. I’ll agree to disagree. There’s a reason the razor is the exact opposite, to first attribute to stupidity and then to malice.

    There’s no way Elon would’ve agreed to trash his reputation like this to kill Twitter. He’s far too egotistical and craves worship.

      Think about it this way.

      He trashed the reputation he gained amongst well educated millenials to look good in the eyes of the same people who voted for Trump.

      What’s more important as a billionaire narcissist? Constantly having to navigate your support base, a support base you inherently disagree with, or developing one that will support you no matter what you do?

      Idk, food for thought.

        Yes, but his business model’s primary target is well educated millennials. I know I’m not the only one who went from thinking of getting a Tesla as my next car to looking at what competitors have.

      Agreed. I think he’s not even 1/10th as smart as his fanbois seem to think he is. I think he also set out to life the voices of the alt-right, though.

      But I bet he didn’t think his purchase would be worth less than half a year after he bought it and completely mismanaged it.
