You have to wonder how much of this is “false flag” sour grapes induced race baiting.

Or how much of this is reverse uno false flag sour grapes race baiting. Like this white guy who posted as a gay black guy.

I'm in no doubt there's an element of that

That said; far more common is the highly ironic or post ironic Twitter account; some follow them earnestly, some folk get it, others seize on Tweets like this to confirm a bias not realizing they are being subtly catfished or gently teased

Think I'm going to set up a [admin edit: but not on here please, lol] account or something. There's some fun to be had.

As the saying goes, free as in speech, not as in beer.

I don't know how much it was losing before he took it over, but he's threatening to name and shame advertisers who leave, which seems like a great way to discourage new advertisers and exacerbate his problems to me.

If it was attention he was seeking when he started going on about buying the company he certainly got it, the whole world is eating popcorn, watching this shitshow play out, and wondering what will happen next.

I think the previous board of directors finally earnt their big bonuses and golden parachutes by forcing Musk to pay through the nose for Twitter and yielding the shareholders $54 a share. He was desperately trying to back out of the deal and now he is stuck with it. "Ha Ha" springs to mind.

That's probably why he fired them on the spot. I bet they were interesting conversations.

As he has embarked on mass sackings in a very short time, including most (all?) of the board, at what point will he lose so much institutional knowledge and memory that the company could fall apart? Does he really have control or is he simply in charge?

Looks like he just bought the name and will revamp the company to his liking. The next year will be very interesting.
