Wow...
Is there some kind of tech CEO competition running or something?
"Who can alienate their user base the fastest"
There's a saying, " never attribute to malice what is easily explained by incompetence".
But we're quickly reaching the point where it's no longer easily explained incompetence. Elon is either the most incompetent person in the known universe, which is saying a lot, or he's doing this on purpose for some reason.
I'm not into conspiracies, but it's starting to make more sense if he's actively trying to tank the stock.
Once upon a time, long ago, in the very beginning, I liked Twitter as a stream of instant information from all POV. Then Twitter became a haven for bots and a propaganda tool. Is it possible that Musk bought Twitter so that he could take it to the point of absurdity and destroy it?
