The Twitter buyout was partially funded by Saudi investors, and there hasn’t been much public discourse about whether they’re pissed it’s value has tanked or whether they wanted that to happen all along.
There’s less direct things that you could point to as well. Things like “conversations” Musk has admitted to having with Putin.
Authoritarian country’s leaders can’t do anything directly to Twitter, so why not just finance its downfall indirectly by giving Elon’s other numerous multi-billion-dollar companies favorable contracts or even just easier access to their corrupt economies. Then those leaders can just ask Elon to tank the single largest platform used to whistleblow, organize, and resist said authoritarian leaders?
Any time critics claim a conspiracy, there’s plenty to just point to of Elon doing stupid shit. There’s no way you can easily point out the difference between stupidity and malice, and most will assume stupidity… so why not take advantage?
Tinfoil hat for sure, but not completely absurd, right?
I also believed he did it out of personal motivation, but what’s this about Saudis and being a puppet?
