I really dislike Musk - but it does seem like sometimes - he has a really strong vision.

Tesla and SpaceX and StarLink are really impressive from a "had a vision for something on a broadly positive world-changing scale, successfully executed it" perspective.

With Twitter, I'm not sure he actually has a vision.

The best realistic pro-Musk argument you can make is that he can be a real ass, but he's an ass whose companies tend to do amazing things. With Twitter, the best I can come up with is that he had a personal grudge against the platform, and the means to take pattiness to unheard of scales.

It almost feels Trumpian in its need to remove any trace of what was built before he took over.

Wait until he sues for the founder title.

Yeah, I suspect he's going to start calling himself "the creator/founder of X" soon

That's technically accurate, isn't it? Twitter is the pea under a stack of shells named X, each founded by Musk. The accuracy of that title only loses specificity when he renames Twitter to X.

Well, he is the cofounder of X(.com). It just took a few decades to fully execute his vision.
