Twitter is going down. The question is whether it will take Musk down with it.

He's been embarrassing himself for a minute already but the answer isn't definitely no.

What I realized is he saw contraction in demand at Tesla and wanted a public pretense to sell some without triggering a panic. He had all the Tesla projections long before his tweet about feeling "super bad" about the economy. This deal turned funny money into feeling like a club promoter.

What do you mean about selling some? He didn't get anything out for himself by effectively putting them up for Twitter collateral. He's effectively setting them on fire and causing panic.

He'd cause less panic by saying "I need to sell some because I wanted to buy a small country".

Tesla's stock is down 30% the last couple of months. So my guess is it probably will.

I can only hope Elon goes bankrupt. He and his man-child-fans are the most obnoxious people on this planet.

Saying and repeating Twitter is going down doesn't actually make it go down. It's an internet hivemind narrative. I'm looking forward to some actual data.
