(Baseless conspiracy theory) A couple of months back, Elon decides that Twitter really is evil, so after confirming that Twitter is more than 5% bots he hatched a plan to send them to MySpace land. He psyches everybody up with his big offer, and at the last second, he leaks audio that Twitter doesn't believe in free speech. He then gets out of the deal for nothing, using the bots as his escape.

Now that Twitter is on the way down, he buys out TS and lets ppl know that TS is the way to go. TS overtakes Twitter and we look back at this moment in 20 years as the moment that brought free speech back in the US.
and in the last scene, Elon rips off the mask and a laughing Donald Trump gives everyone a thumbs up.

Trump Musk 2024

Their campaign slogan could be Toxicity Squared

Musk wouldn’t play second fiddle to Trump, not a chance

On a serious note, I would be surprised if Musk did not try to run for president at some point.

Wouldn’t put it past him, would be a disaster even if he doesn’t get elected. Our process for electing presidents has been a s***show for too long, it’s time (some might say it’s too late) for real stable leadership, not disruptive nutters (who might admittedly be visionaries).

Why does Elon feel the need to pick this fight? Let him do what he does best- think out of the box to produce quality products. Mixing in to politics, and even buying TWTR, IMHO a huge distraction for him.

He didn't pick the fight
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

exactly. Time and time again we find people who are successful in some area thinking they know it all and can do it all. Many times that is their downfall.

I have no problem with him supporting candidates who he agrees with, but wading into politics is with unintelligent  tweets makes him look more and more like Trump...

The area of wealth? Nobody.

The Peter Principle in action.

He made it to the top, he’s (at least on some days) the richest man in the world, so he’s switching it up a bit. He also likes attention and these things get him that.

He's snowballing down. Imagine losing more than $50b in a week.

sports figures did not acheive success because of their brains. Most people expect them to say dumb things...
