If he was actually half as smart as his marketing department claims he is, he'd keep Twitter together enough to get as many fascists elected as possible in a few days.
GOP is likely to win a lot of races, but not quite as many as they would have if their "strong man" leaders were actually smart.
All Musk needed to do was go more slowly and use terms like "reorganize" and "restructure". With little to no analysis the media - idiots that they are - would simply repeat his corporate PR verbatim. And some of the reporters would be showering him with praise for his "bold", "aggressive", and "smart" moves.
And he could gut moderation etc quietly. Meanwhile on Twitter he could still have his fun having convos like this...
"Mr. Musk, sir - is it true that the head of all content control and moderation is a guy nicknamed 'Himmler'?"
when you're a fucked up sociopath, winning twitter arguments is better than not losing a $44B investment
Of course he's not even winning twitter arguments but I think that's more a factor of our titans of industry in this advanced stage of capitalism all being useless fuckwits

"Can't confirm nor deny. :)"
