  Narcissists like him would never seek failure intentionally.

    You’ve obviously never played a board game with a narcissist. Flipping over the table and calling everyone, including the game they themselves purchased, cheaters is a totally expected move.

      They’re not doing that to lose. They’re doing that because they already lost.

        I GUESS YOU’RE RIGHT, LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE!

        You’re not wrong but he bought it at an extremely overpriced amount so he did already kind of lose.

        Musk ‘lost’ when he had to spend the $44 billion. I can totally believe that he’s burning Twitter out of spite from having to buy it.

      That is quite fitting

    It’s just like Michael from The Office. You see he isn’t doing things on purpose to sabotage everyone, but he can’t control itself, he needs the attention and the self worship.

      Thanks for this analogy, it’s going to help me see the world in a funnier light. It’s still fucked, but at least I can get a chuckle every now and then.

  Elon is a narcissistic idiot, but that’s all he is. He bought the same crap his own PR team was peddling a few years ago, figured he didn’t need his PR team because he was so great (according to propaganda they spread), and went on to confidently make idiotic decisions because of course the real life Tony Stark can make no mistakes

  Honestly even if the executive wanted to crash Twitter on purpose I’m not sure they could have done as good as Musk.

  He’s carefully destroying the brand, the infrastructure, the finances and the credibility of Twitter.

  You can’t be too quick because then people would take about for maybe a month and move over.

  No it had to be slow and painful so everyone start to really hate it.
