He’ll just buy some Chinese OEM phone and slap the dumb logo on it. And his audience of moronic fans erupts…

Cue Phony Stark making his own X Phone.

It would be very similar to the Wayne Industries mobile phones from The Dark Night, listening to everything and building a database.

Doubtful. I don’t think he wanted Twitter any more than Trump actually wanted to be president the first time around.
I think he wanted to fuck with them to tank their stock for the lolz and he got himself harnessed to them like a dumb ass, and now he’s killing it as artlessly as he acquired it.

He made the claim back in 2022
Granted, still doesn’t mean anything exactly.
Although, it would make the most sense for him if Xitter got banned. He could have all of his shitcoin financial doings on there, and have Grok as its AI assistant. Truth Social built right in, Alex Jones built in, Cucker Tarlson content built in; all that. Instead of having everything China has all in one app, just put it all on the X phone.
The Far Right would buy them in droves and droves.

That’s after he was already saddled with it, so it’s all part of the larp. Making an X phone only makes sense if you want to extract value out of X, but he doesn’t want to extract value out of X, he wants to destroy Twitter beyond all recognition, and for now that means talking grandly about all of the ways that he will fight to make X work, all of which are doomed and designed to fail.
That’s my theory at least.
