If Twitter goes bankrupt, the banks will end up owning it. Not a chance they are going to let the guy who drove it into bankruptcy then keep running it.

I still can’t figure out his play. He’s certainly acting like someone who will bankrupt the company - not paying rent, not paying legally required severance, not paying vendors, auctioning the furniture, etc. I doubt Twitter is making its tax payments. It’s as if he’s hoarding the company cash and trying to force the creditors to deal with a bankruptcy court to get paid.

I still can’t figure out the end game.

In all seriousness, this feels like someone with unmanaged bipolar disorder who is in a severe manic phase.

I think he’s always had teams managing him and his poor decisions and he had enough money to not have that at Twitter, too. This has been a months long process of absolute stupidity. Granted, I only know well one bipolar person but her cycles were a lot faster.

Mania can last for months.

That's not how startups work. You sound like the opposite of a fanboi, someone who irrationally and illogically hates someone.

Not that simple with $13 bn financing structure. He’s leveraged a significant part of his wealth for Tesla and SpaceX. Plus the $7.1 bn the Saudis put into the deal. He could very well lose control of Tesla.

From your fingers to gods ears, please…

The policy is very simple: You doxx, you get suspended. Much like stickies here on what you can and can’t discuss. Don’t like the playground? Find another.

Except that he suspended a bunch of journalists who didn’t dox anyone. In the future, you might try not spouting off about things you don’t know anything about.

Most of those suspended yesterday didn't do anything close to doxxing. Musk himself violated his own rules with one of his tweets.

Last night a bunch of journalists — including at least one whose account was suspended (taking advantage of a bug in the code) — had a Twitter Spaces discussion. Musk joined the discussion and got pushback on the suspensions. He then left the discussion and killed the entire thing.

Musk wasn’t an intellectual founder of these companies, he just dumped in money.

What a fool. He’s embarrassing himself left and right but can’t stop.

His playground

And no one has to play in it. He can lose $44b all by himself.

Twitter is a private company. They can do what they want.

Those are the rules, right?

Yes, those are the rules. And you will notice that no one is calling for Musk to be prosecuted or claiming he's violating the first amendment or any other similarly insane things that the right wingers said about the prior Twitter management. We're just pointing out his hypocrisy as well as the hypocrisy of all the RWNJs who support Musk's actions but called for the prosecution of Twitter's prior management.
