It's classic "If I don't understand it, then it must be easy" syndrome.

Oh, Twitter is full of bots! So when I'm in charge I'm going to press the "no more bots" button and save Twitter! Also, the company only needs half this much staff, so we're going to spend a few days firing half of them and then the company will be better off!

Elon's not gonna learn because that would tarnish his image of someone who has any idea what the heck he's doing.
