You’re right and you should keep on saying it.
The thing that annoys me the most about this ridiculous theory is that it’s just playing right back into the deluded notion that he’s some kind of genius.
He’s not. He went to court to try to get out of buying Twitter. They had to force him into it.
He never actually wanted to buy the bloody thing, and now he’s just doing the best he can with a bad deal. And it turns out his best really, really sucks.
And for the people out there touting the “Actually the Saudis are forcing him to tank it” version of this nonsense, please try to answer these two questions;
What kind of insane leverage do they have on him that he’d be willing to burn $200bn of his net worth over this (which is roughly what it’s cost him when you factor the damage to the Tesla share price, and that’s not counting the almost a billion in interest he’s paying the Saudis every year for those loans)?
If he knew the plan was to set this thing on fire, why would he attach the X name to it? X is Musk’s precious little baby (literally as well as figuratively); it’s been his obsession his entire adult life. Musk has never stopped trying to make X.com happen. His obsession with it is what got him booted out of PayPal. If the plan was to give Twitter a Viking funeral, why in God’s name would he take something so important to him and throw it on the pyre?
If that’s directed at me, please actually read what I said.
They aren’t forcing him to do anything. He’s a useful idiot.
Anyone could and did see he’d either steer it politically to be more in their favor, or the idiot he is, would destroy it through sheer incompetence.
They aren’t making him do anything, they just saw the cards on the table and thanked Allah.
It wasn’t.
