LOL, literally speedrunning Twitter's bankruptcy.

I have a thought that I can’t let go, that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.

Not something I strongly belief but a small thought that keeps returning.

It's going to be some batshit crazy idea that Elon makes bad decisions on purpose isn't it?

that it has been the plan all along to get rid of twitter, but just buying it and shutting it down would cause too much trouble compared to just take crazy decisions until it crashes by itself.

sigh, there it is.

If he actually bought it to close the gates of hell then I'll have to respect him for that

Every time I think "wow Twitter isn't dead yet?", Elon just goes "bet" and introduces another terrible idea.
