I tried, watching the video a few times. I can't believe that he didn't know what he was doing.

At best, he wants to demonstrate that he can make one of the worst gestures anyone can do in this position and suffer no consequences. Some kind of demonstration of power.

He is rich because of Tesla. Stop buying Tesla's. Then his debt collateral is gone and his loans get called in.

Not at all. Tesla, all included, is just 39% of his wealth. 175 of his 449 billions USD.

And he isn't leverage. In the end, he sold Tesla share and bought Twitter with cash, contrary to what most newspaper wrote (and never corrected).

Or since this is HN, stop working for his companies!

Tesla has consistently had a stock valuation that is completely disconnected from reality.

Tesla stock doesn't seem tied to how well Tesla is doing, if you haven't noticed.

He will do anything so that his biggest fans love him even more. They think this was so based and now he's a god among men for doing this so all is well

the boyz we tell to work the mines, like their fathers before and all be well while the world is going to hell. We do make it pretty easy to sell ideology atm and musk is just selling facism (and hope) faster than the natural growth rate of socialism
