The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”
The strategy was to tank global leftist talking points and disperse the community. His donors are mega rich saudis, russians, and others who benefit from right-wing ideologies being implemented. A blind man could see this before the sun is up.

No it’s not. The free money dried up and Reddit wants to go public. It’s no more nefarious than that.
People don’t get how much the modern internet grew because of shitty interest rates.
His donor was himself, Saudis only made up about 4% of the investment. He’s not making money off ruining Twitter, he’s just an idiot who got lucky in the dotcom bubble.

I’ve been saying this for a while and have been called a conspiracy nut; or at minimum that it’s “unrealistic”.
Well. Sweet vindication.
You got vindicated by a random user on a platform full of people with rather extreme views. If you say that anywhere else - you’ll still be a conspiracy nut. It’s not clear what he’s doing or why, one can only guess (or create conspiracies if you will)
Likewise. The guy is obnoxious, but you’d have to be pretty dense to believe he wants Twitter to succeed by any conventional metric.
Not just them hedge funds are in on it. Anyone with money to lose has chipped in a few billion to the cause
You can make money off of stocks dropping. It’s called shorting an option.
