The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”

It's not a conspiracy that Elon runs interferance for conservatives and extremists and even Russia. It is not a conspiracy that he doesn't like lefties and immediately proved it when he got the platform.

But it is a conspiracy that he bought Twitter with the intention of running it into the ground for the sake of those groups. He bought it because he got into an internet pissing match and when he tried to back out they threatened to sue his ass into the ground. The dude is a fucking idiot edgelord, it isn't surprising that the only people he has left around him are similar.

You can bet your ass he'll claim that was his goal the whole time though. Try to seem like a secret auper genius to anyone who will listen.

Yeah, the whole 9d chess game idea falls apart when you remember he was sued into buying it.

Unless... he wanted them to sue him for, um... some reason?

We also need to remember not to believe his hype - he's not a super genius, he's just a rich asshole who knows how to market himself. All the technological accomplishments his companies made were done by engineers, not by him.
