Delusional rich guy who’s nowhere near as smart as most people thought he was is the most simple explanation. He’s obviously got some kind of god complex and thinks he’s right about everything.
I mean he has been called a real world Tony Stark for the last decade. Maybe that went straight to his mushy brain and he is still on that high. Back in the day he listened to experts, now whenever he’s at SpaceX they employ “Elon handlers” who just nod to every suggestion and then try to get rid of him.
If you look back at his ‘making us as multi planet species’ era he had a lot of the same traits but since buying Twitter it’s gone off the charts.
Probably because so many of his big ideas didn’t pan out, when he was talking about Tesla being about the production line not the car I was optimistic but his factories never scaled like they were supposed to, never really got where they needed to be and I think it became clear they weren’t going to get there.
I think he’s had a lot of ego damage and it’s messed with his head
Not sure I agree. I think it would be totally in character for him to want to destroy Twitter just because they forced him to buy it. He’s a petty troll and can afford to lose that money just to show them.
How does destroying it hurt “them” he already bought it? They cashed out way over the value of the company. If I was any major shareholder of Twitter that he bought out Id be gleefully laughing at him running it into the ground now that I’m no longer invested.
I think that’s obvious to everyone. But, if you’re claiming he’s doing it on purpose… That’s just some next level batshit conspiracy theory.
Is it? He’s either a moron or he’s doing it on purpose. There is simply no other explanation.
At this point it’s just too many dumb decisions, if he had done absolutely nothing after taking over he’d be better off than he is now.

He got too much positive press and lost it.
God knows how a wannabe Steve Jobs who bought into all of his companies ever got compared to Tony Stark.
He looked like a real world Tony Stark when he was surrounded by teams of smart people doing all the hard parts and PR for him.
What we’re seeing now is pure unfiltered Musk. He was probably always like this, but now he’s off the leash.

The first one. He’s stupid
Occam’s razor and all that. He is simply a low intelligence person with a fuckload of money.
I mean… he is a moron.

True, I didn’t think it through. I stand corrected.
Spite isn’t rational.
I think in the end he will want you to believe that. And will be glad if you do.
