It beggars belief, how one who grew up in the abject lap of luxury, surrounded by prolific and successful businesspeople that negotiate billion dollar deals for a living, how that child grew up to be one of the most illiterate fools on Earth when it comes to economics and business administration. It just further reinforces my belief that the $22B he took from MBS for the purchase of Twitter was part of a larger plot to destroy its reputation and make it unusable for any would be revolutionary group to use to organize. Like, assume for a second that he ran his mouth and then was forced to buy Twitter (as the popular narrative goes). Why would MBS be cool with giving Elon $22 BILLION for his fuckup?

Perhaps Elon ran his mouth, was forced to buy Twitter because signed papers and MBS saw an oppertunity to remove Twitter from the scene?

Guy made a couple of lucky investments and convinced himself he's a superior being.

Same reason idiots kept throwing money at trump back when his resume was just a list of bankrupcies (several hotels, an airline and a casino), moneyed people are way stupider than we think.
