What do you mean "such a conspiracy"? There's no grassy knoll? No Zupruder film here?
Fire most of the staff, retain only sycophants and incompetents, remove security and functionality infrastructure so the site is unreliable and insecure, complicate and invalidate verification by giving to all or making "pay to play" until info source verification itself is meaningless, turn off universal access to the platform and openly manipulate the algorithm "news feed" until it's known that you won't see actual "trending topics" and there is zero conference that Twitter is a window the the zeitgeist - and we're there.
We saw it all happen in plain site, no secret meetings. These fucks are always on mega yachts in the Aegean Sea and shit like that, they discussed it one day and that lopsided dipshit essentially said, "I can jump my bike off that high ramp, if I can sit with you guys at lunch" he wasn't thinking and immediately regretted it. He was going to bail before the actual jump and make that move where you trip and then immediately pretend you were just jogging, but in no time he was already going downhill fast and too committed legally so he just hit the ramp... He fell on his face, but it doesn't matter because that was the task, to publicly be a tremendous failure. They probably wanted him to do it a little more subtle even, but he is incompetent, so you got this.
musk isn't a "mastermind" here, he is a useful idiot that was going to fail regardless, the actual money/skill just pointed his failure in their preferred direction that benefited them most. When actual money doesn't matter, power is the currency. musk doesn't have real power, people like the Saudis and venture capitalists do. That's what he's chasing.
