This comment hit the nail on the head. I feel like I played right into his hands. But what is a person to do?

remember the real reason he bought Twitter was to influence the 2024 election and stop any kind of leftist organizing on the site

I don't know, I think it makes a lot more sense to assume that he's a dysfunctional fuck-up who's spending his mid-life crisis taking on a project he clearly can't handle.

I could see many billionaires doing that. But Musk is the same guy who built high speed one-way underground car tunnel with no room for emergency services instead of a fucking train. He doesn't have the capacity for such schemes.

He did that to convince the government not to build more trains which would compete with cars actually, and it worked.

Even got Vegas to spend millions of dollars of transit money on a single, super-slow, underground, extra lane of backed up traffic.

Imagine what they could have built with that money.

Elon Musk: Schrodinger's dipshit.
