@theheatwarps no. I don't think that at all. His backers may have had that intent, and that could be the impact, but it makes no sense with his psychology. Cratering twitter requires him to take a massive series of public Ls and become the foremost clown on the whole internet. Elmo is primarily ego driven. There is NO way he signed on to a plan that makes him the public face of an all time epic fail. The Saudis, Thiel and so on may have known he'd fuck it up, but he thought he'd win.

@theheatwarps Muskrat clearly lives in a right-wing/simp driven information filter bubble. He really thought everyone would love his changes because every voice he hears tells him he's right, he's the smartest man on earth, we have to own the libs by taking over their platform etc.

But the bottom line is the ego issue. The idea that Elmer set himself up to fail in public rings totally false to me.

@MrCompletely @theheatwarps this makes a lot more sense than my half-baked idea that he and his buddies hatched this plan for the lulz.

@drummmerandy @theheatwarps never ever forget that he's an egomaniac playing out a Greek tragedy of hubris. Everything has to be interpreted thru that lens.
