I see what you mean. Sometimes it feels as if he wanted to be Mr Bitcoin but couldn’t, so he desperately tried to be Mr Crypto / DOGE. But, track record and antics when taking over twtr suggest he knows how to manipulate people and narrative in his favor. So, I think he knows what he is doing, and knows who he made an alliance with…

I'm not going to say where, but I have made a similar argument to an online acquaintance that not only wishes to remain anonymous but also wants to see Elon take a bigger nosedive than his rockets. His argument is that Elon's intellect is inferior, my argument is that his blind range is making him miss the fact that if Elon is fully aware of his actions, there can actually be consequences. As absurd as it may seem from some perspectives, he's being negligent. If he knows what he's doing, he's an asshole, if he doesn't, then he's stupid (Thems just the rules). If he admits to being stupid, then he acknowledges that he's neive, which people already assumed and are relentlessly working on exploiting. ** The "bigger" you are, the less vulnerabilities you're going to want to have. In any case, he is still painting himself into a corner. I assume that the flame wars will continue and it's going to be a helluva shit show. I'm indifferent to a lot of it. One of my main concerns is, however, his continued destruction of certain operations. That being said, everyone is manipulative to a degree, but what really matters is intent. The real driving force.... Because the motivator and the mindset are what tell you if the person is truly a fuckin asshole, or just lacking in awareness, or rather one having vulnerabilities and blindspots that are problematic to themselves as well as the people around them.
