You have wonder if the plan was to buy Twitter specifically to kill it.
If that's the case, Musk is doing brilliantly - plenty of scope for plausible deniability while succeeding at his goal.

Obviously he really does want it to be an everything app. Musk is very transparent about his ambitions and feelings. He's not someone to bear holding a secret, he'd want to share it so he could get the validation from telling people about his plans and his followers will act like he's already succeeded.
You could say both sides agree with this, but with opposite interpretations.
I'm not aware of any Sanders followers thinking the actual votes were altered. The voters (in places that had primaries and not caucuses) really did vote for Hillary. The controversy was that the DNC wasn't properly neutral and that this affected the results. Whether the DNC being neutral would have actually resulted in Sanders winning, I don't think anyone can know, though it's probably doubtful. He certainly had a better message than "vote for me because I'm a woman and it's my turn!", and lacked all the baggage that Hillary came with, and had far more charisma (which the DNC infamously doesn't understand the value of), but considering the Republican voters were happy to vote for a guy who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, I don't think we can assume the best about the voters of any party.
After she won the nomination. What you think was proven is not substantially different from what the My Pillow CEO thinks was proven.

As did every single candidate. The only people I saw use that justification were the Sanders supporting conspiracy-theorists.
No, not just like at all. The allegations against the DNC by Sanders supporters are orders of magnitude smaller in scale. There's nothing unrealistic or delusional about "Members of the DNC colluded against outsider" or "Members of the DNC all acted independently against outsider for the sake of their own interests".
Also the difference in evidence and reaction is huge.
There is a world of difference between those not being unrealistic and "The DNC rigged the nomination so Sanders wouldn't win."
The reason why he keeps doing all these comically dumb things is exactly because people like you think he's cooking something. He has no one around him questioning the decisions he's making, so they keep getting worse, because that's literally what happens to every human in history who goes unchallenged for too long.
Well, that's one way to resolve the cognitive dissonance arising from witnessing a "genius" consistently exhibiting non-genius behavior.
Just FYI (from wikipedia).
Your honour, I didn’t mean to hold up that liquor store. It was merely incompetence. I was just trying to act on my legal obligation to my shareholders.
Honestly this feels like one of those situations where you just gotta ask what good is “fuck you” money if you don’t use it to tell people “fuck you”
He was forced to buy something that he only momentarily wanted to buy. And out of spite he just drives it into the ground.
Nothing else connects these dots in any way that aligns with his other successes, unless there’s some whole other part of this constellation I haven’t seen yet.
A. Luck. As we all know, there's a certain amount of luck involved in building a business. So "he got lucky, repeatedly, and then didn't" kinda works as an explanation.
B. as I understand it, he didn't found SpaceX or Tesla, but bought them and forced everyone to pretend he founded them.
C. Again, as I understand it, the management at the other businesses spend a lot of time managing Elon's ego, and this has been missing at X/Twitter.
I think this story will be discussed at length in future MBA classes. Interesting to see it happen in real time.
There is always a search for “a plan” when things like this happen, but it’s just a bunch of butterfly wings and monkeys typing on keyboards.
I don't exactly believe Musk is a patsy, but I could see the purpose served if it decreases organization in the medium term...particularly 2024
It would be hard for a new system to scale properly and uptake to go
Threads may work, but I'd guess it has plenty of polishing to go
