There is a lot of brilliance in this post.
Could Exon really have intended to crash the value of Xwitter all along?
Acquire.
Destroy.
Write-off.
Re-shape.
Nah. too many moves.
Love the logic of this post though.
Inviting Alex Jones back to Twitter is what you'd call a win/win for Elon. Besides pleasing the neo-Nazis, fascists and freaks he bought this site to empower, is it makes it even more likely banks will sell him Twitter’s debt for nothing just to escape the stink.
My personal opinion: The Saudis (among others) saw EM as a useful idiot. They loaned him billions to take down a platform that was an archive for their crimes and atrocities by authoritarian regimes around the globe. They knew he’d fly it into the side of a mountain.
He was canned at PayPal. His “academic achievements” are court-documented lies. Hyperloop, Tesla Cube, the tunnel company, et cetera… all active failures. I’m sure the intelligence community has known the real EM for decades. A generationally rich buffoon. At least he can’t run for President.
Also even if Elon completely flopped, he could destroy the same platform that was used to keep people accountable, have real-time updates, a mass communicator tool. So even when he failed at his American objectives, he could still "win" by tanking the site. It sucks
