    Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just shut it down once he had it? He’s burning a lot of operational money to do this slowly. It doesn’t make any sense unless he really is that stupid.

      Early on, he was selling some of his Tesla stock, thus depressing its value, in order to fund twitter. So I don’t believe the theory that he bought it specifically to tank it. Though he may eventually claim “I meant to do that”.

      I honestly do think he is really really dumb. People love to tell me that he actually does know stuff about rockets or whatever, but c’mon…
