Is he doing this on purpose? He has to be right? What's the end goal? Was his only goal to destroy Twitter? It's fascinating

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

Does that axiom really apply to billionaires?

Aside from the fact that it’s a fake dichotomy, yes. He is obviously very incompetent.

I don't see what someone inheriting wealth has to do with their competence.

Makes one question what should money be allowed to buy, doesn't it?

[-] MysticKetchup@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Well he only ended up buying Twitter because he was forced to when he tried to back out after signing a contract. If he's stupid enough to do that he's stupid enough to ruin the platform through sheer incompetence. That being said, killing Twitter basically helps out him/his financers so I'd suspect at least some of it is on purpose.
