@pieist @Hawkmoon @Green_Footballs what if Elon got money from oil-rich countries and other state actors so he already made his money. He can then sell private DMs / posts to countries that really want that information for more money. Then he can use the Twitter data to build a ChatGPT clone to make more profit (which means he needs to block others from his private data well). Is the incompetence just a distraction from the magic trick? Or is it real?

What if you're right, & that is his plan, & he can't pull it off because he's not capable of executing it?
(My personal view is that it's even stupider than either 'I can fix Twitter' or 'I want to use twitter to train an LLM that will make me >$44B.' My view is that he literally hasn't thought about anything deeply enough to decide what he's trying to do.)

@FeralRobots @pieist @Hawkmoon @Green_Footballs I just can’t rule out the ‘corporate raider’ perspective yet (harvest/sell assets of company and then declare bankruptcy for further tax write-offs iirc). I also don’t rule out lack of sleep, inflated ego, some drugs and/or spite (misery loves company) as reasonable explanations for what appears to be a series of very poor decision-making with $$ and the bird site.
