He's probably trying to tank twitter to align with some political request. The destabilization of the communication platform will disrupt flow of information, potentially, for the next US election cycle and with current world conflicts/tensions.
What grand Machiavellian plan requires this shit show when he could just shut it down at a moments notice? He owns the entire platform, he can do whatever he wants with it.
I like how the two main threads of thought are "he's an utter drooling moron" and "he's a seven-dimensional chess player who's trying to take Twitter down without looking like he's taking Twitter down."
Plausible deniability.
For what? It's not a crime to close a business you wholly own.
Idk I'm just spitballing. It just seems like an expensive way to misbehave. Chalking it up to stupidity/huberis on his part just seems too easy.
