Could the failure of #Twitter have been the point all along?
I'm still quite skeptical, but with each new seemingly poor decision & "mistake," I can't help but wonder...
@Sheril For Musk himself? No. He’s a Trump-like sociopathic narcissist who thinks he’s a genius but in actuality couldn’t manage his way out of a paper bag.
For his *financiers* though? $44B to eliminate the most significant obstacle to their own efforts toward consolidating their autocratic rule is a _bargain_.
@mjf_pro How is Twitter an "obstacle to autocrats' efforts towards consolidating their rule"? Much less the "most significant" one?
Real autocrats can just turn off access to social media or censor it directly. Buying it would be an extremely circuitous and pointlessly expensive way to achieve those goals.
