I really can't believe that Elon is willing to make himself the heal and devalue his "brand" for this wild conspiracy theory shit. He's just a narcissistic, autistic, wealthy, douchebag. It's the obvious and most reasonable explanation. He's so delusional he didn't realize how horrible his ideas are.
Its likely that Musk was a useful idiot in this situation. He backed himself into a corner w/ his dumb tweets and ended up being on the hook for the purchase of twitter. Then he either needed to pay a billion dollar fine or buy twitter. Thats when arab oil money volunteered to fund his blunder likely because it was a win-win for them. They either make money off of the success if twitter gets better, have huge influence over trends if twitter remained the default information platform, or deter future expensive rebellions if twitter was decimated.
Musk's idiocy gave dictators their opportunity to deal a deft blow to their largest enemy, information, and he probably just thinks that he's a genius who earned that investment.
His brand has reached cult status. He could snap newborn babies' necks like twigs in Times Square and someone would praise him for his basedness.
It's the whole reason he turned to the right, the lack of shame or standards. He was a darling if the centre/moderate left when he was the king of renewable energy, electric cars, space travel, etc. But then he realised those people won't just blindly clap everything you do during the incident with the cave diver. The right on the othe hand will cheer anything sfor someone with the right views, like what's happened with Laurance Fox last week.
