1 year agoDon’t attribute to malice what is absolutely just idiocy. Musk is not some genius. He is quite literally a man-child who made money because he came from money (and maybe a little luck).
His hubris led to this disaster with twitter—nothing else.
I’m not ignoring evidence, I just see an alternative you don’t: He wants attention and he always has. He’s “losing” and the easiest way to get validation is to get it from those that are right-wing. He wants so badly to be treated as “a genius”.
Nobody other than staunch right-wingers believe his non-sense. He only gets headlines because controversy sells.
